Introduction
Before using the unit for the first time
Before using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. This
will enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions it
provides:
Observe the basic safety notes .⇒ page 4.
Familiarise yourself with the unit overview.⇒ page 6.
Use suitable data media for Media mode.⇒ page 21.
Safety notes
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. 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).
● Setting the volume too high may damage your hearing. This also ap-
plies if you are exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
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 8.
WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data medium while the vehicle is in
motion can distract you from the road and lead to accidents.
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 and cause injuries during a sud-
den driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● You should never position or attach an external device on a door, on
the windscreen or above or near to the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the
steering wheel, the dash panel and the seat backrests, or between these
areas and the vehicle occupants. External devices can cause serious in-
jury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate. 

RDS* and TP* radio data services (Traffic
Programme) Introduction
The RDS (Radio Data System) offers additional information in FM such as the
visualisation of the station name, automatic station tracking (Alternative
Frequencies), text emitted by radio (Radio Text) and traffic reports (TP).
Not all units have RDS, not all the FM stations offer this service and nor can
the infrastructure of all the countries permit it.
Without RDS, it is not possible to obtain radio data services.
To guarantee the best reception in places where RDS is available for the sta-
tions tuned in, select the following system settings ⇒ page 52:
● RDS ON 
● ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY ON 
● RDS REGIONAL AUTO 
Depending on the unit some settings may not be selected.
Additional information and warnings:

Automatic station tracking
With the automatic station tracking the unit always switches to the frequen-
cy that offers the best reception of the current radio station as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. In some units it is possible to suppress
automatic frequency changing ( ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY  OFF )
⇒  page 52.
Radio text
Some RDS-compatible stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text

DAB* radio mode
Function only available in Europe
Introduction
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is a
digital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III
(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “channels” and each
has a channel name (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services
available in a station “ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. In areas without DAB,  is dis-
played in DAB radio mode.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations and
to browse traffic news stations (TP function) ⇒ page 52.

Playback of external media connected by Bluetooth ®
Bluetooth Audio mode is only available if the vehicle is equipped with a fac-
tory-fitted mobile phone preparation that supports this function. Please re-
fer to the relevant vehicle operating manual for information on operating
the mobile phone preparation ⇒ page 37.
The external media player (e.g. a mobile phone) must be compatible with
the Bluetooth ®
A2DP or AVRCP profiles.
In Bluetooth audio mode, audio files from a media player that is connected
via Bluetooth ®
can be played over the vehicle speakers.
Bluetooth Audio mode is indicated by BT-AUDIO or BLUETOOTH-AUDIO on the
display.

WARNING
● Please concentrate on driving. As the driver, you are also responsible
for road safety. For this reason, you should only use the functions when
the traffic situation allows so and in a manner that allows you to main-
tain control of the vehicle. Otherwise, you run the risk of causing an acci-
dent.
● The speech system must not be used in cases of emergency, since the
voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or de-
layed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!
● Always observe applicable legislation.
● Adjust the volume so that external warning sounds (e.g. emergency
vehicles, etc.) are always audible.
Note
● The voice control system is only available in the following languages:
Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English, French, Canadian French, Ital-
ian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch. For other languages, the prede-
fined language for the voice instructions is English. Please take the vehicle
to a Technical Service if you wish to change the language.
● There may be restrictions on the use of Bluetooth devices in some coun-
tries. Information is available from the local authorities.
● If you connect the mobile phone Bluetooth system to a Bluetooth de-
vice, consult the safety warnings in its instruction manual. Use compatible
Bluetooth products only.
● If a call is received or made using the Bluetooth system when the radio
is switched off, this will always automatically turn on providing that the igni-
tion is switched on.
● If a call is received or made, the sound of the audio source that is cur-
rently being listened to will be muted in order for the telephone conversa-
tion to be carried out without unpleasant background noise.
● Adjust the volume of the conversation on the mobile phone to “maxi-
mum” and modify the volume on the radio volume control. Compatibility with mobile phones
New models of mobile phones are being released constantly by the differ-
ent brands, with different operating systems and different ways of operat-
ing. For this reason there are some mobile phones that do not perform
some of the functions correctly or are even totally incompatible. To help you
when choosing a mobile phone, SEAT offers the results of the compatibility
tests on different mobile phones. Visit the SEAT website or ask at your deal-
er.
Depending on your mobile phone model, certain functions may not be avail-
able or it may be necessary to change the configuration. Familiarise yourself
with your phone and read the instruction manual to learn the possibilities it
offers.
Even when the mobile phone appears as compatible in our list, we have no-
ticed that occasionally it is possible that the phone presents an abnormal
behaviour with the system due to software errors. In this case, we recom-
mend you update the telephone software. Mobile phone manufacturers
usually make updates available on Internet for their customers in order to
improve the working of the phone.
In the event that you have various applications to make calls, such as inter-
net calling, the mobile will ask you from which application you wish to make
the call. Until confirmation is given you will not be able to make the call.
If you try to make a call and it is not processed, check your mobile phone as
it is possible that your a pop-up window on your telephone is requesting
you to select the program with which to make the call. 
