Introduction
Introduction Gener a
l operating information
Safety notes Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's
f

ull attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef

ore starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to
you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
dis
tinguish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
car i
s stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an ac c

ident and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Sel ect

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
ma
y 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
y ou sw

itch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio sourc
e or connecting a new audio
source ››› page 7. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whi l

e driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
o b

struct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not o
bstruct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly sec

ured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vr
e, or in the ev

ent of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the w
indscreen, 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 mo v

ements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehic
le is in motion. Note
● Not in

serting the data medium correctly, or
inserting unsuitable data media, may damage
the unit.
● When inserting the memory card, make
sur
e it is in the correct position ››› page 21
● If you push too hard, you could damage the
lock
on the memory card slot.
● Only use suitable memory cards.
● The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged
if the
volume is too high or the sound is dis-
torted. 6

Introduction
●
Lightly pr
essing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
fu

nction buttons are available as the software
of the unit responds to the specific character-
istics of each market. A missing function but-
ton on the screen is not the result of an error
in the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
fu

nctions cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone inside the vehicle
can c
ause noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth dev
ices in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
dis
tance warning system, the volume of the
audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged.
● If the steering wheel has a voice control
butt
on , it will not work in this radio mod-
el, so it has no function in relation to the ra-
dio. Rotary knobs and buttons

sed through the Infotainment system
if there is a mobile telephone connected to it
via Bluetooth ®
››› page 28.
In order for the mobile telephone to be able
to connect to the Infotainment system the tel-
ephone must be equipped with Bluetooth®
.
If there is no mobile telephone connected to
the Infotainment system, the telephone man-
agement system will not be available.
The instructions shown on the screen for the
telephone menus will depend on the mobile
telephone used. There may be variations.
Only use compatible Bluetooth ®
devices. For
further information on compatible Blue-
tooth ®
products, ask your nearest SEAT deal-
er or check on the internet.
Use the instruction manual of the mobile tel-
ephone and of any accessories.
If you detect any operating issues between
your mobile telephone and the Infotainment system, restart your mobile by switching it off
and on ag
ain.
Y

ou may experience poor reception or may be
cut off in areas where the signal is weak.
Most electronic devices are shielded against
HF (high-frequency) signals. In any case, the
electronic equipment may not be protected
from the HF signals of the telephone man-
agement system. This may cause interfer-
ence. WARNING
Speaking by telephone and operating the mo-
b i

le telephone whilst driving can distract you
from the road and cause an accident.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
ea
sily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● In areas of little or no coverage or, in some
ca
ses, in a tunnel, garage or underpass, your
call may be cut off and you may not be able to
make even emergency calls. WARNING
If a mobile telephone is not secured or is in-
c orr

ectly secured in the vehicle, it could move
around the passenger compartment in the
event of a sudden driving manoeuvre or emer-
gency stop, resulting in injury. ●
Whi l

e the vehicle is in motion, always se-
cure the mobile telephone properly outside
the airbag deployment zone. WARNING
Mobile telephones may interfere with and al-
t er the c

orrect operation of pacemakers if
they are carried directly over them.
● Maintain a minimum distance of at least
20 centimetr
es between the aerials of the
mobile telephone and the pacemaker, as mo-
bile phones may affect the functioning of
pacemakers.
● Do not carry your switched-on mobile tele-
phone in y
our breast pocket directly over the
pacemaker.
● If you suspect interference, switch off the
mob
ile telephone immediately. CAUTION
High speeds, poor weather or road conditions
and the qua lity

of reception can all affect the
quality of a telephone conversation in the ve-
hicle. Note
● Re

strictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities. 26

the equipment. Bluetooth
® Bluetooth
®
tec

hnology allows a mobile tele-
phone to be connected to your vehicle's tele-
phone management system. In order to use
the telephone management system with a
mobile telephone with Bluetooth ®
technolo-
gy, it is first necessary to pair them.
Some Bluetooth ®
mobile telephones detect
and automatically connect when turning on
the ignition if a connection has been previ-
ously established. For this to take place the
telephone must be switched on and its Blue-
tooth ®
function activated, and there must be
no active Bluetooth ®
