Important Information
Important Information Important Information. Traffic safety
Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various functions when the traffic situation
really permits this.
WARNING
● Before starting the trip, you should familiarise yourself with the dif-
ferent radio functions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger to you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can distinguish surrounding
noise, for example, horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the car is stopped or by a pas-
senger.
Note
Separate the radio card and keep it in a safe place, but never inside the ve-
hicle. If the card bearing the radio code is lost, go to a SEAT dealership,
where you will be given help.
Note
● The anti-theft coding does not need re-entering if the battery has only
been disconnected. In this case, switch the ignition on before switching on
the sound system.
● The card bearing the radio code is available according to the model of
the vehicle.

Safety notes
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to an accident and cause inju-
ries. Operating the infotainment system while driving can distract your
attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● If you set the volume excessively high you may suffer damage to your
ears. This can also happen if you are exposed to an excessively high vol-
ume even for a short time.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source ⇒ page 10.
WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data medium while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic and cause an accident.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or brak-
ing manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units on the doors, on the wind-
screen, on or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, on
the dash panel, on the seat backrests or between these areas and the
passengers. These units may cause serious injury in the event of an acci-
dent, especially if the airbag is activated.

Introduction
WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's arm movements, which
could cause an accident and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Opening the housing of a CD player may lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a specialised workshop.
CAUTION
● When inserting and removing the CD, always hold it at right angles to
the front of the unit without scratching or tilting it.
● Inserting a second CD while a CD is already inserted or being ejected
may damage the CD player. Always wait until the data medium has been
fully ejected!
CAUTION
Any foreign objects attached to a data medium and non-round data media
can damage the CD player.
● Only clean 12-cm standard CDs should be used!
– Do not stick stickers or other items to the data media. Stickers may
peel off and damage the drive.
– Do not insert 8-cm single CDs or non-round CDs or DVDs (shaped
CDs).
– Do not insert DVD-Plus discs, Dual Discs or Flip Discs, as these are
thicker than normal CDs.
CAUTION
If the volume is too high or the sound is distorted, the vehicle speakers can
become damaged.
