equipment fitted in your vehicle in some details.
Directions and positions  (e.g. right, left, front, rear) are always relative to the 
direction of travel of the vehicle unless otherwise stated.

Remember
6RememberConvenience anti-theft codeThe sound equipment automatically identifies “its” vehicle.
If the electricity supply is interrupted, when the ignition is switched on again, 
the sound equipment automatically checks whether it can still identify “its” 
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been identified, the sound equipment is again 
ready to be used after a few seconds.
With the convenience code it is no longer necessary to manually unblock the 
sound equipment.
However, if the sound equipment is in another vehicle, it must be unblocked 
by entering the code. To obtain the code, contact an authorised SEAT 
dealer.Important information concerning the handling of your radio equipment Use when driving
Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
Thanks to their many sophisticated features, modern radio equipments 
provide a great variety of entertainment forms and a range of information on 
traffic and road conditions, etc.
However, the radio, with all its possibil ities, should only be used if traffic 
conditions really allow it.
For example, changing CDs or reading  song titles while driving may easily 
lead to dangerous situations. The radio volume should be set so that acoustic signals from outside can also 
be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please keep your attention on driving as a priority!Soft-Clipping FunctionThe radio has an automatic volume reduction system to avoid distortion and 
possible damage to the radio and speakers.
The majority of the time, this adjustme
nt is made when the volume indicator 
is not visible (normal screen for the selected source) and the change is not 
noticeable.
Remember that if this protection is activated when the temporary volume 
indicator is visible, it will appear to  be a reduction of the volume selected by 
the user.Protection against overloadingIn the event of high temperatures and/or  large volumes, the protection circuit 
may react.
During this phase, to discharge the amplifiers, the final stages of the 
speakers are disconnected.
