Handling CDsUse of laser equipment
Laser devices are divided into the safety classes 1 to 4, as specified by DIN
IEC 76 (CO) 6/VDE 0837. The laser devices used on your vehicle are classified
as safety class 1. Lasers used in devices that fall into this category are very
weak and well screened, so there is no danger if used correctly.
Requirements for good sound reproduction
Please note the following in order to ensure perfect high-quality sound repro-
duction and avoid damage to media drives:•
Do not use dirty CDs
•
Do not use damaged or scratched CDs
•
Do not use labels
•
Do not use protective rings
•
Do not use a CD cover or a stabiliser
•
Do not use non-circular CDs (shape CDs)
•
Do not use single CDs (8 mm / 3" in diameter)
Always store unused CDs in a suitable CD case and do not expose them to
direct sunlight.
Cleaning media drives and CDs
Never use a CD player cleaning disc to clean the media drives.
Clean CDs with a soft lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from the
centre outwards. If necessary, dirt ca n be removed with a commercially avail-
able CD cleaner or with isopropyl al cohol. Please never use petrol, paint
thinner or record cleaner, as these can damage the CDs.

iPod interface*General notes
The iPod interface can be used to connect an iPod to your in-
car entertainment system and allows you to play audio files
directly over the car's sound system.The iPod interface is located in your car' s glove box. It is compatible with 3rd
generation or higher iPod
1) devices (made from about 2003 onwards), with
the exception of the iPod Shuffle.
The iPod is controlled using the CD function ⇒page 24.
•
The sound system orders (first numerically and then alphabetically) the
playlists with the tracks stored in the iPod and then assigns them in the
sequence CD 1 to CD 5. For easier playing of these playlists through the
vehicle's sound system, we recommend you create five playlists (e.g. 1.... to
5....) in your iPod.
•
If you select CD 6, all the tracks on th e iPod will be played even if they are
stored in different playlists. If you select an artist, a track, an album or a
podcast before connecting the iPod, your selection will be kept until you
change CD.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the
name of a playlist, does not appear on the sound system display.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a car's interior)
can cause damage to the iPod and/or impair its performance.•
Please do not leave your iPod in the vehicle in case of extreme tempera-
tures.

Caution•
Do not connect a device other than a memory stick or MP3 player to the

•
Do not connect the MP3 player directly to the USB port. This could
damage the device.
•
Never remove a memory device when the USB port is selected as source
(CD). This could damage your memory device.
Functions
Music files are played just like on a CD changer using the
controls on the sound system.To start the memory stick or MP3 player, press the button several times
until the display shows CD positions CD 1 to CD 6 ⇒ page 24.
The following functions are available:•
Play all tracks stored on the memory device (if no folders are stored on the
memory device)
•
Select and play up to six main folders with music files (just like selecting
CD 1 to 6 on a CD changer)

NotesHere are some tips and points to reme mber when playing music files in the
car:•
We recommend that, instead of storing music files in the main directory of
the memory stick or MP3 player, you create separate folders e.g. for tracks
belonging to the same genre or artist. Therefore, bear in mind that your sound
system can display and play a maximum of six folders. The folders are allo-
cated first in numerical order and then in alphabetical order as CD 1 to CD 6.
Folders that do not contain music file s are automatically ignored. You can
create any number of subfolders.
•
If there are no folders on your memory device, the sound system will allo-
cate all the music files it finds to CD 1.
•
Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits in the sound system
display. The first digit is suppressed if you select a track with a three-digit
number, i.e. track 125 and track 25 are both displayed as track “25”. We
therefore do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each folder.
•
Bear in mind that special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) are at the end
of the alphabet.
The following music formats are supported:
•
mp3 (MPEG1 Layer3 from 32 to 320 kbps)
•
wma (from 8 to 192 kbps)
•
wav (11.025, 22.050 and 44.1 kHz sa mpling frequency with 16-bit
encoding, stereo)
•
ogg vorbis (up to q10, 48 kHz, stereo)
DRM music formats are not supported.Caution
Never store important data on the memory stick or MP3 player. SEAT is not
liable in any manner for any data or files that may be damaged or lost.

Aux-in connectionIntroduction
Portable players can be plugged into the Aux-in connection
using a 3.5 mm jack plug.The Aux-in socket is located in the centre console. It is compatible with port-
able players with a 3.5 mm jack plug. It cannot be guaranteed that all port-
able players will function without any problems.
Caution
•
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a car's inte-
rior) can cause damage to portable pl ayers and/or impair their performance.
Never leave the portable player in the vehicle in case of extreme temperatures
(either very high or very low)
•
Never store important data on portable players. SEAT is not liable in any
manner for any data or files that may be damaged or lost.Note
Please refer to the operating instructions of your portable player for important
information on its operation.Connecting a portable player– Switch on your car's sound system.
– Enable radio mode. – Connect the portable player to a 3.5 mm jack plug and plug the
extension cable into the Aux-in socket.

The volume can be adjusted using the sound system in your vehicle, the
multi-function steering wheel* or the portable player.
WARNING
Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the driver, you
bear the responsibility for road safety. Never operate a portable player
while driving, as this could result in an accident.
Note
•
We recommend setting the output level of the portable player to about
70 percent of maximum. Before adjusting the volume using the sound system
in your vehicle, you should first use the volume adjuster of the portable
player.
•
Using a portable player with the engine switched off will drain the
