General information on operating the unit
Introduction
If system settings are modified, some aspects of the unit's operation may
differ from the descriptions given in this manual. For this reason, SEAT rec-
ommends that you reset the unit to its factory settings the first time you use
it ⇒ page 102.
Additional Information:
● Safety notes ⇒ page 4
● Unit overview ⇒ page 6
● Multifunction steering wheel, to change track or station ⇒ Booklet Own-
er's Manual, chapter Vehicle overview
Note
Lightly pressing the buttons or briefly pressing the touchscreen is sufficient
to operate the unit.
Note
Never press a button down for longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise the sys-
tem will interpret this as a malfunction ( button jammed).
Note
Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected on
the screen when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
Note
Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
loudspeakers.
Note
In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the vol-
ume of the loudspeakers is automatically lowered when reverse gear is en-
gaged. If talking on the telephone through the radio and navigation system,
the volume of the conversation is also lowered automatically when reverse
gear is engaged.
Note
Restrictions on the use of devices using Bluetooth technology may be appli-
cable in some countries. Please ask your local authority for further informa-
tion.
Switching on and off
With the ignition on, press the rotary/push knob
⇒ Fig. 1 1 briefly to
manually switch the unit on or off.
When the unit is switched on, the system starts, and the last selected audio
source is played at the last selected volume, provided this is not greater
than the “start-up volume” ⇒ page 101.
When the key is removed from the ignition, the radio and navigation unit
automatically switches off. If the unit comes on again without the ignition
being switched on, it will switch off automatically after 30 minutes (switch-
off delay).
Anti-theft coding
The anti-theft code is stored in the vehicle once it has been entered (con-
venience radio code). The anti-theft coding lock then only needs to be re-
leased manually if the unit is installed in another vehicle. In such a case, a
keypad field and a prompt to enter the code will appear when the unit is
switched on. In this case, you should contact a SEAT dealership.

ped.
It is possible to preset certain volume settings and adjustments
⇒ page 101.
WARNING
Your attention may be distracted from the traffic if you use the radio and
navigation system while driving, resulting in accident.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
WARNING (Continued)
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● If the volume is too high, you could damage your hearing. Even if the
volume is too loud for a short period only.
CAUTION
The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged if the volume is too high or the
sound is distorted.
Note
If the base volume has been turned up high to play an audio source
(e.g. due to very quiet audio output from an external audio source), lower
the volume again before switching audio source.
Additional information and display options
The text displayed on the screen may vary depending on the settings and
may not match the illustrations shown here.
All displays appear only after the radio-navigation system has completed
start-up.
Depending on the vehicle, the changes to the air conditioning settings or
the texts relating to driver assistance systems fitted at the factory are dis-
played. These displays disappear automatically when they are no longer re-
quired.

always received.
While the Media mode is on, it will always try to tune in to a traffic station in
the background.
If the traffic news tracking function is available, TP is displayed on the upper
right corner of the screen ⇒ Fig. 17.
When no radio stations are received, for example, when the reception is
generally poor, No TP is displayed.

function button.
● Press the desired settings to select them in the pop-up window.
Route criteriaMeaningFastFastest route to the destination, even if it means driv-
ing further.
EconomicalThis function aims to find an equilibrium between the
shortest time and the shortest route.
Shortshortest route to the destination, even if it results in a
longer travelling time. The navigation route may in-
clude unusual route sections, e.g. dirt roads.
Dynamic route
If dynamic route guidance is activated, TMC traffic reports will be taken into
account in the route calculation ⇒ page 68.
Excluding types of route in the calculation
The function buttons
Avoid motorways
, etc. define whether or not these
types of road may be included in the route calculation.
Even when excluded, these types of route will still be included in the route
calculation if no practical alternative route exists. For example, if it is impos-
sible to reach an island without using the ferry. For the calculation of very
long routes, it is not possible to avoid motorways. Navigation announcements
When the route has been calculated, the first announcement is given. Up to
three navigation announcements are given before a turn, e.g. within a town
“Prepare to turn left”, “Turn left after 300 metres” and “Now turn left”.
● Press the setting knob ⇒ Fig. 1 10
to repeat the last navigation an-
nouncement.
The distances that are announced depend on the type of road and the
speed at which you are driving. On motorways, the first announcement is
given roughly 2,000 m before an exit.
For example, the following announcements may be heard on multi-lane
highways or roads that divide, and at roundabouts: “Take the second exit at
the roundabout!”. More than one instruction may be necessary when navi-
gating very large roundabouts. In any case, the exit to be taken is always
displayed in relation to the position of the vehicle at the time the instruction
is given.
When you arrive at your destination, the following announcement is heard:
“You have reached the destination”.
During dynamic route guidance, you receive information about reported
traffic congestion on the route. If the route is recalculated due to traffic con-
gestion, you will be advised accordingly ⇒ page 68.
Announcement settings.
Navigation announcements are played at the preset volume.
The volume of an announcement can be changed with the volume control
. All following announcements will then be made at this volume.
The volume of navigation announcements can be preset or switched off in
the Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 71 or in the volume settings
⇒ page 102.

● Pressing the Vol. reduction function button opens a pop-up window in
which you can set the automatic audio volume reduction applied when the
parking distance warning system (PDC) is active. When reverse gear is en-
gaged, the volume of the radio and navigation system is lowered to make
manoeuvring easier and so that acoustic warnings are audible. If the maximum start-up volume is set very low, the navigation system an-
nouncements will also be lowered to this level. This may mean that the vol-
ume of the navigation system requires turning up each time the unit is
switched on.
Functional description of speed-dependent volume adjustment (GALA)
The speed dependent volume adjustment automatically increases the vol-
ume as the vehicle speed increases.
The degree to which the volume increases with speed is adjusted on a scale
between 1 and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases only slightly as the speed of the
vehicle increases. At a high setting the volume increases further. At 0
speed-dependent volume control is switched off (display: Off).
