operating information
Safety notes WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident
and cause injuries. Operating the
radio system can distract you from the road.
● 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).
● If you set the volume excessively high you
may
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
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 are loose or not proper-
ly sec ur
ed could move around the interior
during a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vre or an accident, and cause damage or in-
jury.
● Do not place or fit external equipment to
the doors, wind
screen, steering wheel, dash
panel, the backs of the seats, on top of or
near the area marked “AIRBAG” or between
these areas and the occupants. External devi-
ces can cause serious injury in an accident,
especially when the airbags inflate. WARNING
Opening a CD player's housing may lead to
injuries fr
om invisible laser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a special-
ised work
shop. CAUTION
The unit can be damaged by incorrect inser-
tion of a d at
a medium or insertion of an in-
compatible data medium.
● When inserting and removing a CD, always
hold it
at a right angle to the front of the
drive without tilting so as not to scratch it.
● If a CD or DVD is inserted while another is
alre
ady in the unit or being ejected, the DVD
drive may be irreparably damaged. Always
wait until the data medium is completely
ejected. CAUTION
Any foreign objects attached to a data medi-
um and non-rou nd d
ata media can damage
the CD player.
● Only clean, 12-cm standard CDs should be
used!
–Do not affi
x stickers or other items to the
data medium. Stickers may peel off and
damage the drive.
– Do not use printable data media. Printed
labels and coverings may peel off and
damage the CD drive.
– Do not insert 8-cm mini CD singles or
non-round CDs (irregularly-shaped CDs).
– Do not insert DVD-Plus discs, Dual Discs
or Flip Discs, as these are thicker than
normal CDs. 4

● 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.

Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob
››› Fig. 1 8 is referred to as the volume con-
tro l
or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob 14 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, e.g. the MEDIA unit but-
t on ›

› Fig. 1 10 .
Ther e ar
e 5 u
nlabelled unit buttons below the
screen ›››
Fig. 1 11 . 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 switch the unit on or off manually, briefly
pre s
s the rotary knob ››› Fig. 1 8 .
When the unit i
s switched on the system
starts up. The last audio source used is
played at the last selected volume setting,
provided this does not exceed the preselec-
ted “switch-on volume” ( Volume ›››
page 18).
D ependin
g on the unit and country in ques-
tion, the unit is 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 you have to en-
ter the anti-theft code manually, for example,
if you have fitted the unit in another vehicle,
consult a Seat dealer. »

and audio DMB)*
Introduction Some units are equipped with an additional
DAB r
a
dio receiver.
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcasting 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 18. 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.10

Additional DAB stations
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional stations, (for example,
for broadcasting sports events).
If there is an additional station available, this
