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. »

Audio mode
TP function (radio traffic information) Fig. 3
TP function active. The TP function is an RDS radio data service.
If
y
our unit has DAB, you can also use the TP
function even if RDS is not available
››› page 8.
Traffic news tracking with the TP function is
only possible if a TP station is available.
While the traffic news tracking function is on,
the news bulletins will be activated in the au-
dio mode currently playing.
Some stations that do not have their own
traffic news support the TP function by broad-
casting traffic announcements from other
stations (EON). Traffic announcements broad-
cast by the linked traffic news station inter-
rupt the current audio mode. Switching the TP function on and off

When the function for tracking a station with
traffic information is on and ready to operate,
the TP function button is highlighted in the
FM mode ››

Fig. 3.
In Radio mode, the radio station being lis-
tened to must be compatible with the TP
function or be a DAB or EON station compati-
ble with the TP function. If neither of these
two conditions are met, it is not possible to
track stations with traffic information.
If the traffic information station being lis-
tened to is no longer received, it is possible
to manually start a station search using the and
arrow keys.
If se
ar
ching 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 while the unit is muted, it
is
always automatically tuned to a station
with traffic information in the background, as
long as one is received. This operation may
take some time depending on the situation.
Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)
In active Audio mode, an incoming traffic an-
nouncement will play automatically.
● If required, the infotainment system is
switc
hed to the traffic news station (EON) for
the duration of the announcement.
● The Media mode will be paused and the
volume w
ill be adjusted to the preset level.
● The volume of the traffic announcement
can be modified with the
volume control .
The adjusted setting will be applied to subse-
quent announcements.
● There is a pop-up message to cancel the
traffic annou
ncement (Cancel) or deactivate
the TP function ( Deactivate).

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
will also be indicated in the main display
next to the name of the station. In the list of
stations, additional stations are identified by
