Safety notes WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident
and cause injuries. Operating the
radio system while driving can distract you
from the road traffic.
● Always drive responsibly paying careful at-
tention to the tr
affic.
● 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).
● Hearing may be impaired if using too high a
volume settin
g, even if only for short periods
of time. 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
source. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whil e driv
ing can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
ob s
truct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not ob
struct the driver. WARNING
External devices that may be loose or not
properly sec
ured, could move be thrown
around the passenger compartment during a
sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or an
accident and cause damage or injury.
● Never place or set external devices on the
doors, on top of
or near the area marked with
the word “AIRBAG” of the steering wheel, the
dash board or the backrests, nor between
these areas and the passengers. External de-
vices can cause serious injury in the event of
an accident, especially when the airbags in-
flate. CAUTION
The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged if
the v o
lume is too high or the sound is distor-
ted. Additional displays
Depending on the vehicle, the factory-set as-
si
s
tance systems are temporarily displayed
on the screen. These displays disappear au-
tomatically when they are no longer required.
All instructions appear only after completely
restarting the radio system. Note
● To oper at
e the equipment just press the
buttons gently.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
function
s cannot be selected when the vehi-
cle is travelling above a certain speed.
● Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle
may
cause noise from the vehicle loudspeak-
ers.
● On some vehicles with ParkPilot, the vol-
ume of the audio sourc

v o
lume c
ontrol or on/off button.
The right-hand rotary/push knob 5 is refer-
r ed t
o a
s the setting knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The labelled buttons on the unit are referred
to as “unit buttons” and are pictured as a
button symbol with blue content, e.g. MEDIAunit button
›››
Fig. 1 7 .
Ther e ar
e 6 u
nlabelled unit buttons below the
screen ››› Fig. 1 8 . These unit buttons are re-
f err
ed t
o as “function buttons” as their func-
tions depend on the active function mode.
The function assigned to a function button is
shown on the corresponding button in the
lower section of the display (e.g. ››› Fig. 2).
Switching on and off ●
To manually switch the Infotainment sys-
t em on and off
, briefly
press rotary knob
››› Fig. 1 1 .
When the u nit
i
s switched on the system
starts up. The last audio source used shall be
replayed at the last selected volume setting,
provided this does not exceed the preselec-
ted “switch-on volume” ( Volume›››
pag e 21). D
epending on the unit and country in ques-
tion, the unit i
s switched off when the engine
is turned off or the key is removed. If the unit
comes on again without the ignition being
switched on, it will switch off automatically
after 30 minutes (switch-off delay).
Energy management
If, when the ignition is switched off and the
unit switched on, the battery voltage falls be-
low the minimum onboard power supply volt-
age, an audible warning sounds and LOW
BATTERY appears. You should switch the
unit off.
Anti-theft encryption
Once the anti-theft code has been entered for
the first time, it remains stored in the vehicle
(convenience radio coding). If the anti-theft
code has to be inserted manually, e.g. due to
the unit having been installed in another ve-
hicle, please contact a SEAT dealership.
If only the battery terminals have been dis-
connected, switch the ignition on before turn-
ing the unit on again.

Audio mode
RDS is not available everywhere or on every
FM r a
dio s
tation.
Depending on the country and the unit, the
RDS and switching to alternative frequencies
(AF) may be deactivated in the system set-
tings ››› page 21.

you may also use the TP function without
having RDS ››› page 7.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function
is only possible when a tuning in a traffic
news station. While traffic news monitoring is on (display:
TP ›››
Fig. 4), traffic announcements are
heard directly in the Audio mode.
Traffic news station tracking is not possible
on the AM 1)
frequency bands.
Some stations that do not broadcast their
own traffic news support the TP function by
broadcasting traffic reports by other stations
(EON). Traffic announcements broadcast by
the corresponding traffic news stations di-
rectly interrupt the current audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the TP function button.
If the TP function is activated in areas where
ther e i
s
no support for TP , the following no-
tice shall appear on the screen: NO TP.

In Radio mode the station that is being lis-
tened to has to accept the TP function, or it
has to have a DAB or EON station available
that may accept the TP function If both re- quirements are fulfilled, traffic news station
track
ing is not possible.
If the traffic news station that is being lis-
tened to cannot continue getting reception, a
manual search shall have to be initiated with
arrow buttons and

If
searching for a station using the arrow
keys, NO TP is displayed if the station set is
not currently compatible with TP.
In Media mode or as long as the volume may
be muted, a traffic news station is automati-
cally tuned in the background, provided the
signal of said station can be tuned in. This
operation may take some time depending on
the situation.
Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)
In active Audio mode, an incoming traffic an-
nouncement shall be directly played.
● If necessary, the radio moves to the traffic
news s
tation (EON) for the duration of the
traffic announcement.
● The Media mode will be paused and the
volume w
ill be adjusted to the preset level.
● The traffic announcement volume can be
modified with the v
olume control . This set-
ting shall also apply to subsequent an-
nouncements. »1)

Audio 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 frequencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 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 into one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
DAB is currently not available in all areas . In
areas without DAB, is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode. The system and functions settings
allow in this case a change of FM station
››› page 21. In the system and functions
settings there is the configuration of other
settings for the tracking of stations and for
playing DAB notifications. Note
The radio stations are responsible for the
cont ent
of the information sent. Operation

Media mode Introduction “M
edia sources” are audio sources contain-
in g audio fi
les on various different data me-
dia (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These au-
dio files can be played by the respective data
media or by the radio input sockets.
Requirements for Media sources and

s Restrictions and notes
C
ont
amin
ation, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Please observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data device due to the da-
ta device configuration or the devices and
programs used for recording. Information about the best ways to create audio files and
data medi
a (compression rate, ID3 tag, etc.)
shall be found, for example, on the Internet.
Complex folder structures can also slow
down the reading of data.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
stored on the data medium at the locations
referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
