WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside 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 volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you switch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio source or connecting a new audio
source ››› page 7
. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium while driving can distract 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 secured could be flung
though the interior during a sudden driving
or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an
accident. ●
Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the windscreen, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, on the dash panel, on the seat backr-
ests or between these areas and the passen-
gers. These units may cause serious injury in
the event of an accident, especially if the air-
bag is activated. WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm movements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion. WARNING
Opening the housing of a CD player can cause
injury due to invisible laser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a special-
ised workshop. WARNING
The recommendations and traffic signs
shown by the navigation system may differ
from the true traffic conditions.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority over the recommendations and in-
structions given by the navigation system.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visi-
bility, road, traffic and weather conditions. » 3

Introduction
Note
Not inserting the data medium correctly, or
inserting unsuitable data media, may damage
the unit. ● When inserting the memory card, make
sure it is in the correct position ››› page 23.
● If you push too hard, you could damage the
lock on the memory card slot.
● Only use suitable memory cards.
● The CD slot is equipped with a lock func-
tion. Do not force CDs into the slot.
● Only have the CD player repaired by a spe-
cialised workshop. ●
If you insert a CD while another is already
inside or is being ejected, this could damage
the CD player unit. Always wait until the data
medium has been fully ejected! Note
The CD drive can be damaged by foreign ob-
jects that may be attached to the data sup-
port or by irregularly shaped data supports.
● Only use standard 12 cm CDs!
● Do not stick stickers or other items to the
data media. Stickers may peel off and dam-
age the drive.
● Do not use printable data media. Covers
and stickers may peel off and damage the
drive. ●
Do not insert CD or DVD “singles” (8 cm) or
CDs that are not round (“shape-CDS”).
● Do not insert DVD-Plus discs, Dual Discs or
Flip Discs, as these are thicker than normal
CDs. Note
Playing media at a very high or distorted vol-
ume can damage the speakers of the vehicle. 4

The infotainment system enables you to play
and manage audio files and some video files
from an external data medium connected to
the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface.
Where this manual refers to external data me-
dia, this means USB mass storage devices
containing supported audio files, such as
MP3 players, iPods ®
and USB sticks.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies
the usual USB voltage of 5 volts. Adapter for connecting a data medium
The external data media are connected to the
MEDIA-IN multimedia interface using an
adaptor.
Depending on the market and features, the
adaptor is included in the supply. Other
adaptors can be purchased from your SEAT
Dealership.
Do not use memory card adaptors, USB ex-
tension cords or USB hubs!

Notes and restrictions
The infotainment system enables you to view,
play and manage compatible audio files
through the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface.
In the case of MTP players and depending on
the battery charge and the quantity of data, it
may take a few minutes for them to be ready
for use.
External hard discs with a capacity greater
than 32 GB must, in certain circumstances,
be reformatted to the FAT32 file system. On
the Internet, for example, you will find pro-
grams and instructions for this.
If the data carrier has several partitions, only
the first partition will be recognised (except
with USB, in which the first 2 will be visible).
Take into account all other instructions and
limitations regarding requirements for media
sources.
Connecting and disconnecting an external
data medium
● Connect a suitable adaptor to the MEDIA-IN
multimedia interface.
● Connect the external data medium to the
MEDIA-IN multimedia interface via the adapt-
er.
● If necessary, switch on the external data
medium or select the appropriate data mode.
Regardless of any indications to the contrary
that there may be on the matter, the external data medium can be disconnected from the
MEDIA-IN multimedia interface at any time
without losing the data.
When disconnecting an iPod
®
or iPhone ®
from the adaptor, take care to press the two
unlocking tabs on the narrow sides of the
iPod ®
