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
e is automatically low-
ered when reverse gear is selected. Rotary/push knobs, unit and function

The right-hand rotary/push knob 5 is refer-
r ed t

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
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

in the current location. The selected group at
that time ( DAB 5) is shown in the top line of
the screen ››› Fig. 12.

● Turn the adjustment knob.
The channel
selected is displayed in the cen-

first DAB station of that group will be played. 1)
This depends on the country and unit in question.

Audio mode
The audio files st
or ed on data storage devi-
ces are often organised by means of folders
and playlists to determine a certain
playing order.
Tracks, folders and playback lists on a data
device are each sorted based on name in al-
phanumeric order.
Sub-folders are treated as folders and are
numbered in accordance with the sequence
found on the CD.
The illustration ››› Fig. 15 shows an example
of a MP3 data device, that contains tracks, ,
folders and sub-folders .
The tracks and folders on this data device are
displayed and played based on the following
order:
Tracks 1 and
2 in the r
oot directory
(ROO T) of
the data media.
Tracks 3 and
4 in the fir
st folder F1 of
the r oot
directory of the data device (dis-
play: 01).
Track 5 in the fir
st subfolder F1.1 of the
f o
lder F1 (display: 02).
Track 6 in the fir
st subfolder F1.1.1 of
the s ubf
older F1.1 (display: 03).

on the front passenger side, in the
centre console, or in the armrest between the
two front seats.
The AUX-IN multimedia socket can only be
used with a 3.5 mm jack plug. An external audio source connected to it can
only be p
layed over the vehicle speakers, but
cannot be controlled via the radio.
The AUX-IN multimedia socket should be acti-
vated in the system setting ››› page 21 in
order for it to appear in the Media selection
menu ››› page 12.
Connecting an external audio source to the
AUX-IN multimedia socket
● Reduce the base volume on the radio.

● Press the function button .
The outp ut
volume of a connected external
audio source should be adjusted to that of
the other audio sources.
Adjusting the output volume
If you need to increase the output volume for
the external audio source, first lower the
base volume on the radio.
If the sound from the external audio source is
too low, increase the output volume on the
external audio source if possible. If this is not
enough, set the input volume in the system settings to
level 2 or level 3
›››
page 21.
If the sound from the connected external au-
dio source is too loud or distorted, lower the
output volume on the external audio source if
possible. If this is not enough, change the in-
put volume to level 2 or level 1 . Note
● If p l
ayback of the external audio source fin-
ishes or if the connector of the AUX-IN multi-
media socket is unplugged, the radio will re-
main in the AUX menu.
● Interference noise may be heard if the ex-
terna
