Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and navigation system and its various functions
when the traffic situation really allows it.
WARNING
●Before starting the trip, you should familiarise yourself with the dif-
ferent functions of the radio and navigation system.
●High audio volume may represent a danger to you and to others.
●Adjust the volume in a way that you can distinguish surrounding
noise, for example, horns and sirens, etc.
●System settings should be done when the car is stopped, or by a pas-
senger.
Note
If the code for the radio and navigation system is lost, please go to a SEAT
Dealership for assistance. 

Introduction
Before using the unit for the first time
Before using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. This
will enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions it
provides
●Observe the basic safety notes  ⇒ page 4.
●Familiarise yourself with the unit overview ⇒ page 6.
●Restore factory settings (standard settings) in the system settings menu
⇒ page 99.
●Use suitable data media for media mode ⇒ page 27. 
Safety instructions
WARNING
Your attention may be distracted from the traffic if you use the radio and
navigation system while driving, resulting in accident.
●Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
●Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
●If the volume is too high, you could damage your hearing. Even if the
volume is too loud for a short period only.
WARNING
The recommendations and traffic signs shown by the navigation system
may differ from the true traffic conditions.
●Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommen-
dations and displays provided by the navigation system.
●Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, road, traffic and
weather conditions.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung though the interior and cause injuries during a sud-
den driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
●While the vehicle is in motion, always fasten or store external devices
securely outside the airbag deployment zones.
●Arrange the connecting leads of external devices so that they do not
obstruct the driver.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
●Reduce the base volume before switching audio sources or connect-
ing a new audio source ⇒ page 9. 

5Introduction
WARNING
Opening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
●CD players should only be repaired by a qualified workshop.
CAUTION
The memory card slot's locking mechanism can be damaged by incorrect in-
sertion of a memory card or by inserting a non-compatible memory card!
●When inserting a card, make sure it is correctly positioned ⇒ page 31.
●Applying force may destroy the memory card slot's locking mechanism.
●Only use suitable memory cards ⇒ page 27.
CAUTION
●When inserting and removing a CD, always hold it flat and at a right an-
gle to the front of the unit. Inserting or removing them at an angle to the
drive can lead to scratching ⇒ page 30.
●Inserting a second CD while a CD is already inserted or being ejected
may damage the CD player. Always wait until the CD has been ejected.
CAUTION
Any foreign objects attached to a data medium and non-round data media
can damage the CD player.
●Only clean standard 12 cm CDs should be used.
–Do not stick stickers or other items to the CDs. Stickers may peel off
and damage the drive.
–Do not insert 8 cm single CDs or non-round CDs (shaped CDs).
–Do not insert DVD Plus discs, dual discs or flip discs, as these are
thicker than normal CDs. 

General information on operating the unit
Introduction
If system settings are modified, some aspects of the unit's operation may
differ from the descriptions given in this manual. For this reason, SEAT rec-
ommends that you reset the unit to its factory settings the first time you use
it ⇒ page 100.
Additional Information:
●Safety notes  ⇒ page 4
●Unit overview ⇒ page 6
●Multifunction steering wheel, to change track or station ⇒ Booklet Own-
er's Manual, chapter Vehicle overview
Note
Lightly pressing the buttons or briefly pressing the touchscreen is sufficient
to operate the unit.
Note
Never press a button down for longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise the sys-
tem will interpret this as a malfunction (button jammed).
Note
Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected on
the screen when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
Note
Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
loudspeakers.
Note
In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the vol-
ume of the loudspeakers is automatically lowered when reverse gear is en-
gaged. If talking on the telephone through the radio and navigation system,
the volume of the conversation is also lowered automatically when reverse
gear is engaged.
Note
Restrictions on the use of devices using Bluetooth technology may be appli-
cable in some countries. Please ask your local authority for further informa-
tion. 
Switching on and off
With the ignition on, press the rotary/push knob  ⇒ Fig. 1 1 briefly to
manually switch the unit on or off.
When the unit is switched on, the system starts, and the last selected audio
source is played at the last selected volume, provided this is not greater
than the “start-up volume” ⇒ page 99.
When the key is removed from the ignition, the radio and navigation unit
automatically switches off. If the unit comes on again without the ignition
being switched on, it will switch off automatically after 30 minutes (switch-
off delay).
Anti-theft coding
The anti-theft code is stored in the vehicle once it has been entered (con-
venience radio code). The anti-theft coding lock then only needs to be re-
leased manually if the unit is installed in another vehicle. In such a case, a
keypad field and a prompt to enter the code will appear when the unit is
switched on. In this case, you should contact a SEAT dealership. 

9Introduction
If the vehicle battery has been disconnected, switch on the ignition before
re-connecting the unit. 

⇒ page 99.
WARNING
Your attention may be distracted from the traffic if you use the radio and
navigation system while driving, resulting in accident.
●Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
WARNING (Continued)
●Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
●If the volume is too high, you could damage your hearing. Even if the
volume is too loud for a short period only.
CAUTION
The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged if the volume is too high or the
sound is distorted.
Note
If the base volume has been turned up high to play an audio source
(e.g. due to very quiet audio output from an external audio source), lower
the volume again before switching audio source. 
Additional information and display options
The text displayed on the screen may vary depending on the settings and
may not match the illustrations shown here.
All displays appear only after the radio-navigation system has completed

the texts relating to driver assistance systems fitted at the factory are dis-
played. These displays disappear automatically when they are no longer re-
quired. 

RDS radio data and TP (Traffic Programme)
services
Introduction
The RDS (Radio Data System) offers additional information in FM such as the
visualisation of the station name, automatic station tracking (Alternative
Frequencies), text emitted by radio (Radio Text) and traffic reports (TP).
Not all units have RDS, not all the FM stations offer this service and nor can

Automatic station tracking
Some FM stations broadcast different content (temporary or permanent) on
different wavelengths using the same name depending on the region.
By default, automatic station tracking always switches to the currently se-
lected radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. As a result, you may lose the regional pro-
gramme you are listening to. The automatic change of station can be de-
leted using the setting menu Radio ⇒ page 17.
Display and delete the radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text.
