this. WARNING
● Bef or

miliarise yourself with the different radio
functions.
● High audio volume may represent a dan-
ger to
you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
distin
guish surrounding noise, for exam-
ple, horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when
the car is
stopped or by a passenger. Note
The card bearing the radio code is availa-
bl e ac
cording to the model of the vehicle.
Separate the radio card and keep it in a
safe place, but never inside the vehicle. If
the card bearing the radio code is lost, go
to a SEAT dealership, where you will be
given help. 3

could distract you from the traffic.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
eas

the device is set to high volumes for a short
period. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you sw it
ch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio source or c
onnecting a new audio

injury.
● Never fit external units on the doors, wind-
scr
een, on or near the area marked with the

Fig. 1 in order to
start Radio mode.
After you switch to Radio mode, the available
frequency bands (FM, AM and DAB) are ini-
tially displayed in the bottom line of the
screen ›››
Fig. 2. After roughly 5 seconds, they
are replaced by the “station buttons”
››› Fig. 3. Stations can be stored to the station
buttons ›››
page 12. The station that is playing will appear in the
centre of
the screen. For stations with RDS,
the name of the station will appear instead of
its frequency if reception is good enough, for
example RADIO 1.
RDS and automatic station tracking
(only in FM) RDS is a radio data service which makes it
pos
s
ible to receive additional services such
as the display of station names, automatic
station tracking (AF) and the TP function (Traf-
fic Program ››› page 16).
With automatic station tracking, when the ve-
hicle is in motion the station always changes
to the frequency with the best reception in
that moment. If the reception is poor, the unit
may be muted for a short time as it searches
for alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it avail-
able for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is
possible that the RDS and the alternative fre-
quencies (AF) are deactivated ›››
