•
Inserting a new CD while an inserted CD is being ejected can destroy the
CD drive in the unit. You must wait until the CD is ejected before trying to
insert a new CD.
•
Do not press buttons or keys forcefully, otherwise an imperfection may
occur. Light pressure is sufficient to operate the unit. The rotary/push knobs
have breaking points to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
•
Do not use pointed or sharp objects on the touch screen. Lightly pressing
with your finger is enough. The screen indication that it cannot be activated
by pressing with your finger is not available.
•
Please not that a defective navigation data medium can serious impair
the speed and functions of the navigation system ⇒ page 49.
•
Refer to the notes on requirements for data media, folders and playlists
⇒ page 25.Note
•
The unit can play audio files fr om various different data media
⇒ page 25.
•
The navigation system takes a few seconds to process complicated oper-
ations. During this time, the unit may appear not to respond to further opera-
tion of the controls. When this occur s, do not continue to operate the
controls, as the unit “remembers” any commands and will “work through”
them in the order they were given when the current processes have been
completed.
•
Interference noise may be heard when using a mobile telephone in the
vehicle.
•
In vehicles with a window aerial, the reception could be impaired if foil or
metal-coated stickers are attached to the windows.
•
In some vehicles with a parking distance warning system*, the volume of
the audio source currently playing is automatically reduced when the vehicle is put into reverse gear so that the driver can hear the acoustic signals given
by the parking distance warning system.
•
In vehicles with an optical parking system*, a visualisation of the detec-
tion range of the parking distance warning system is also shown on the
screen.
•
If changes have already been made to the basic settings, you may find
that some aspects of the unit's operation differ from the descriptions given in
this manual ⇒page 11, “Resetting the unit to the factory settings”.

6Operation whilst the vehicle is in motion Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
WARNING
It is fundamental that you are suffic iently alert while driving. Any distrac-
tion may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•
Never lose sight of the road while using the equipment.
•
Use the equipment only when the state of the road, the weather and
traffic conditions permit.
•
When adjusting the volume, keep in mind that signals from outside the
vehicle, such as a police or fire brigade horn, must be audible at all times.Note
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio and navigation
system may not be available on the screen above a certain speed. This is not
an error, but rather compliance with the legal requirements of the country.Switching on or off– Briefly press the on/off switch ⇒page 3, fig. 1 to switch on
the unit. The system will initialise and the latest settings will
load. The most recently used audio source is activated.
– To turn off the equipment, briefly press the on/off button again.
When the unit is switched on, the last audio source used is activated at the
most recent volume setting, provided th is does not exceed the pre-selected
“ switch-on volume ” ⇒ page 12.
Switch-off delay
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the unit is switched off. You
can then switch the unit on again. The equipment automatically switches off
after 30 minutes, so as to not drain the vehicle's battery.
Convenience radio coding
If the equipment has been removed and then reinstalled in the vehicle, or if
the battery has been disconnected, it is no longer necessary to manually
deactivate the antitheft codification, since the code remains in the vehicle
memory after entering it the first time.
If the code numbers do not match, however, e.g. because the unit has been
installed in another vehicle, the electron ic lock must be released manually
⇒ page 88, “Entering the PIN”.

– Then select , as described ⇒page 34. The external audio
source will now be played over the vehicle speakers ⇒page 32,
fig. 23 .
– You can adjust the output volume with the volume control ⇒page 3, fig. 1 . See also ⇒page 33, “Adjusting the output
volume”.
It is only possible to play the sound output of an external audio source
connected to the AUX-IN socket via the radio-navigation system and the
vehicle speakers. The external audio source cannot be controlled via the
radio-navigation system. Consult the specific manufacturer's instruction
manual for operating the external audio source.
You can select another audio source on the radio-navigation system at any
time. The external audio source will continue to play until it is switched off.
Please not that the unit does not automatically switch back to the previously
played media source when the external audio source stops. The radio-naviga-
tion system will remain in the AUX menu ⇒page 32, fig. 23 and another
audio source must be selected manually.
When the plug is disconnected from the AUX-IN socket, the previously
selected media source will be automatically started.
You require a 3.5 mm jack plug for the AUX-IN socket. If the external audio
source does not have this plug, an adapter must be used.
Adjusting the output volume
You can adjust the output volume at which the external audio source is played
using the volume control on the radio-navigation system ⇒page 3, fig. 1
.
You can also adjust the input volume on the AUX-IN socket between three
levels. In media mode, press the button to open the Media settings
menu ⇒page 32, fig. 24 . Then press the and select the
desired input volume in the pop-up window ⇒. To adjust the output volume to that of
the external audio source and prevent
distortion, carry out the following steps.
If the sound from the external audio source is too quiet, first increase the
external audio source's output volume
10). If this is not sufficient or the output
volume of the external audio source cannot be adjusted (e.g. with a line-out
connection), go to the Media settings menu and adjust the to
or ).
If an external audio source is played too loudly or its sound is distorted, first
lower the external audio source's output vo lume. If that is not sufficient or not
possible, you must reduce the input volume ( or
).
WARNING
Please observe the safety warnings on the use of external audio sources
⇒ page 34.
Caution
Before adjusting the input volume level, it is important to turn down the
volume on the radio-navigation system to prevent damage to the vehicle
speakers that may be caused by excessively loud or distorted playback.

vehicle interior and injure occupants.
•
The external audio source must never be placed close to an airbag
⇒ Booklet 2.1 “Safety First”, Section “A irbag system”. If an airbag is trig-
gered, the device could be flung tow ards the compartment and injure the
vehicle passengers.
•
Occupants must not have the external audio source in their hands or
placed on their legs while the vehicle is in motion. A sudden driving
manoeuvre could cause the device to be flung through the vehicle interior
and injure occupants.
•
The wires connecting the external aud io source must be arranged so
they do not obstruct you when driving.

If the vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat Entertainment system, audio
from a portable multi-media device connected to the AUX RSE socket can be
played through the radio-navigation system. To play audio from a device
connected to this socket, enable the "AUX2 Input" option in the Media
Settings menu (MEDIA →SETUP) . Make sure no other multi-media device or
audio cable is connected to the MEDIA-IN interface, as these take playback
priority over the AUX2 input. Refer to the Rear Seat Entertainment system
manual for further information.
WARNING
The risk of injury during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an accident is
increased if the glove compartment cover or armrest is open.•
Always keep the glove compartment and armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion.WARNING
Loose objects inside the vehicle may obst ruct the driver and lead to serious
injuries.•
The external audio data medium must never be placed on the instru-
ment panel. A sudden driving manoeuvre could cause the device to be flung
through the vehicle interior and injure occupants.
•
The external audio source must never be placed close to an airbag. If an
airbag is triggered, the device could be flung towards the compartment and
injure the vehicle passengers.
•
Occupants must not have the data medium in their hands or placed on
their legs while the vehicle is in motion. A sudden driving manoeuvre could
cause the device to be flung through the vehicle interior and injure occu-
pants.
•
The wires connecting the external data medium must be arranged so
they do not obstruct you when driving.
Note
•
Only audio files readable through th e MEDIA-IN socket will be displayed
and played. Where a medium connected contains damaged files or files in
unreadable formats, these will not be displayed.
•
USB connection takes priority over the MEDIA-IN interface AUX socket.
Either of these, or an iPod adapter where applicable, takes priority over the
AUX RSE socket. Therefore, to play audio from a medium connected to the
AUX RSE socket, make sure there is no device or cable connected to the
MEDIA-IN interface.
•
You can disconnect the connection with the external medium whenever
required without losing data, independent to the indications of the external
data media.
External data media requirements •
The unit only supports external data media and USB mass storage devices
that comply with the USB 2.0 specifications.
•
External data media must use a FAT file system, either FAT16 (< 2 GB) or
FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table)
•
In the case of MTP players (Media Transfer Protocol), which have the
“PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista” logo, factors such as the battery status
and the quantity of data may affect the way these devices respond to commu-
nication via the MEDIA-IN multi-media in terface. It may take several minutes
before the MTP player is ready to play.
•
When playing files from large hard drive memories with many files and
complex file structures (a large numbe r of folders and subfolders, non-play-
able files, etc.), there may be delays in the reading of audio files. The
connected device may also affect the unit's response time.
•
The folder structure on the external data medium should not have more
than eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1000 items.

If the message “Device not functional ” appears, the communication between
the external data medium and the radio-navigation system is anomalous.
Check the connection and make sure the external data medium is ready for
use.
Note
•
Due to the large number of different data media and various iPod genera-
tions available, it is not possible to guarantee fault-free operation of all func-
tions described here.
•
The radio-navigation system does not automatically switch to playing of
an external data medium when it is connected to the multi-media interface or
when a connected data medium is switched on. It must be switched on in the
manner described.
•
If a MEDIA-IN multi-media interface is fitted, an additional option
( ) will appear in the Media settings ⇒ page 32, fig. 24 menu. The
additional AUX-IN socket is switched on by pressing this option, if it forms
part of the unit.
Important information for operating CD
playersSafety precautions for equipment fitted with lasers Laser devices are classified by DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837 into safety
classes 1 to 4.
SEAT CD players conform to 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.
WARNING
•
The CD player is a class 1 laser product. If it is opened, there is a risk of
injury from invisible laser radiation.
•
The CD player contains no parts which you can service or repair by your-
self. You should, therefore, contact a qualified workshop if there is a
mechanical defect or if the CD player has to be repaired.
Tips on CD mode and handling data media
With the goal of guaranteeing optimum playback quality, try
not to use damaged, scratched or dirty data media.Cleaning a CD
Hold the CD at the sides. Avoid leaving fingerprints on the CD.
Use a soft, lint–free cloth to clean it. Wipe the disk in a straight line from the
centre outwards. Stubborn soiling can be removed with an ordinary CD
cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol.
Caution
•
Never use fluids such as petrol, paint thinner or record cleaner, as these
can damage the surface of the CD!
•
Use standard 12 cm CDs only. Special shape discs (sometimes called
“Shape CD”) or 8 cm “singles” cannot be played and they will damage the
player.
•
DVD-Plus, Dual Discs and Flip Discs are thicker than standard CDs and
must not be inserted into the unit.
•
Insert the CD into the CD slot to the point where it is pulled in automati-
cally.
