Display of station information in DAB
mode. The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
D
AB+ and DMB-Audio br
o
adcasting stand-
ards. In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
band III frequenc
ies (from 174 MHz to
240 MHz).
The frequencies are referred to as “channels”
and each one has a channel name
(e.g. 12 A ).
Several available DAB stations are combined
into one channel in an “ensemble”.
Starting Digital radio mode ● From the RADIO main menu pre
ss the BAND function button and select

The D AB r
a
dio station that was last selected
will be played if it can still be received at the
current location.
The selected DAB station is displayed in the
upper bar of the screen; the group of selec-
ted stations is displayed below ››› Fig. 24.
Additional DAB stations (Secondary Service
Components)
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional stations , (for example,
for broadcasting sports events).
DAB stations containing additional stations
are identified in the station list by means of
the symbol . Selecting additional stations

The DAB main menu shows the name of the
ad

alongside the abbreviated name of the main
DAB station.
The additional stations cannot be stored.
Automatic station tracking
DAB is currently not available in all areas. In
areas without DAB,
is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode.
If reception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB reception available),
the Infotainment system attempts to find the
station and tune to it on the other available
frequency bands. If the station still cannot be
found, the radio will be muted. Automatic
station tracking can be activated in the DAB
settings in the following modes ›››
page 36:
● DAB - DAB station tracking: The ra dio at
-
tempts to tune into the same station on an
alternative DAB frequency. Automatic station
tracking only works if both DAB stations
transmit the same station identifier or the »

ation.
● Automatic DAB - FM switching: The radio
att
empts to tune into the same station on the
FM frequency band. Automatic station track-
ing only works if the DAB station and the FM
station transmit the same station identifier or
the DAB signal indicates the corresponding
FM station. Once the corresponding FM sta-
tion has been found, “FM” is displayed after
the station name. When reception for the cor-
responding DAB station returns, after a short
time the unit will switch back to DAB mode
and “FM” will no longer be displayed.
● Switch to a similar station: This al
lows
service providers to indicate alternative sta-
tions with similar content. This way, if the ra-
dio loses reception of a DAB station and can-
not find an alternative frequency for it on FM
or DAB, there is a possibility of tuning in to a
station with similar content.
Radio text
Some stations also broadcast additional text
information known as radio text.
Radio text is displayed in the upper half of

guarantee fault-free operation of all descri-
bed functions.
● Always switch off the warning and service
tones
on a connected Bluetooth ®
audio
source, e.g. key tones on a mobile telephone,
to prevent possible interference noise and
malfunctions.
● To play music, do not link the external me-
dia pl
ayer simultaneously to Bluetooth and
the USB interface of the infotainment system,
as this can cause limitations during playback.

page 79.
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 menu
s 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 again.
You 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-
bi l
e 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
eas
ily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns). ●
In are a
s of little or no coverage or, in some
cases, 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.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always se-
cure the mo
bile telephone properly outside
the airbag deployment zone. WARNING
Mobile telephones may interfere with and al-
ter the c orr
ect operation of pacemakers if
they are carried directly over them.
● Maintain a minimum distance of at least
20 centimetre
s 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 your br
east pocket directly over the
pacemaker.
● If you suspect interference, switch off the
mobi
le telephone immediately. » 77

ar
e the PIN code shown on the dis-
play of the Infotainment system with that
shown on the mobile telephone. If they
match, confirm on both devices.
The infotainment system and the mobile tele-
phone will now be connected to each other.
When the pairing has been finalized correct-
ly, the PHONE main menu will appear. The
phonebook and call lists stored in the mobile
phone will be loaded once the requests have
been accepted in the mobile phone. The du-
ration of the loading process depends on the
amount of data stored on the mobile tele-
phone. After loading, the data will be availa-
ble on the Infotainment system.
Pairing and connection of mobile telephones
You can pair up to 20 mobile telephones to
the Infotainment system, but there can only
be two mobile phones simultaneously con-
nected as hands-free, and a third device as
BT audio at any time.
When the Infotainment system is switched
on, it automatically connects to the last con-
nected mobile telephone. If it is not possible
to connect to this mobile telephone, the tele-
phone management system will try to auto-
matically connect to the next mobile tele-
phone on the list of paired devices.
The maximum range of the Bluetooth ®
is ap-
proximate. 10 metres. The active Bluetooth ®
connection disconnects if this distance is ex- ceeded. The connection is
automatic ally re-
established as soon as the device is once
again within Bluetooth ®
range.
If the maximum number of paired devices is
reached and you wish to pair another one to
the system, it will automatically replace the
one least used recently. If you wish to replace
it with another one, the user must erase it be-
forehand. To do so:
● Press the Setup button on the device while
in telephone mode.
● Pr
ess the function button Bluetooth setting

firm the process. Note
● It m a
y be necessary to confirm the phone-
book data transfer request on the mobile tel-
ephone.
● Check that there are no requests pending
accept
ance in your mobile phone. If there are,
this could block some of the functions in the
