classes 1 to 4.
The SEAT CD player corresponds to safety class 1.
The lasers used in class 1 units are low energy lasers, or are shielded in such
a manner that they present no danger when used correctly.
Do not remove the cover of the unit. It does not have any parts which can be
serviced by the user.Tips for CD modeTo ensure perfect, high-quality CD reproduction, only clean, undamaged CDs
should be used.
Please do not stick any labels onto the CDs.
Compact discs not being used should always be stored in the CD rack (you
can find one, for example, in the SEAT Genuine accessories Catalogue) or in
their original case.
Never expose CDs to direct sunlight!
Caution
Use only standard 12 cm CDs. Special “shape CDs” or 8 cm “singles” cannot
be played because they may damage the CD player.

Installation for mobile telephone with voice command system
36Dialogue The voice command system can be activated with the “press
to talk” button, located on the multi-function control.In this manual, Dialogue is defined as the time in which the speech control
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for completion
of different functions in case the user is hesitant and unsure how to proceed.
The system also responds by vocal messages. The dialogue is activated and
deactivated by pressing the “talk button” ⇒page 34, fig. 12 .

be accepted by pressing the key “answer” on the multi-function control.
Assistance from control commands when orders are not recognized.
If a command is not recognised by the system, it will answer with the cue
third failure the system will answer with
ended. Note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
•
Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.
•
Avoid poor articulation of words.
•
Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.
•
Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the
interior light).
•
At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out background
noises.

To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend
using the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
