Important Information
Important Information Important Information. Traffic safety
Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
Only operate the radio system and its various functions when the traffic sit-
uation really permits this.
WARNING
● Before starting the trip, you should familiarise yourself with the dif-
ferent radio functions.
● 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.
● Radio settings should be made when the car is stopped or by a pas-
senger.
Note
The card bearing the radio code is available according to the model of the
vehicle. Separate the radio card and keep it in a safe place, but never inside
the vehicle. If the card bearing the radio code is lost, go to a SEAT dealer-
ship, where you will be given help. 

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:
 Take the basic safety notes into account
 ⇒ page 4.
 Familiarise yourself with the unit overview
⇒ page 6.
 Use suitable data media for media mode ⇒ page 19.

Safety notes
WARNING
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury. Operating
the radio system could distract you from the traffic.
● 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).
● Setting the volume too high may cause damage to your hearing. This
also applies if the device is set to high volumes for a short period.
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 source or connecting
a new audio source.
WARNING
The connection, introduction or removal of data media whilst driving may
distract you from the traffic, causing an accident.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung through the interior of the vehicle during a sudden
driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never fit external units on the doors, windscreen, on or near the area
marked with the word “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the dash panel,
seat backrests or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. In the
case of an accident, external units can cause serious injury, particularly
when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
Opening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a Specialised workshop. 

Audio mode
RDS and automatic station tracking (only in FM)
RDS is a radio data service which makes it possible to receive additional
services such as the display of station names, automatic station tracking
(AF) and the TP function (Traffic Program ⇒ page 17).
With automatic station tracking, when the vehicle is in motion the station
always changes to the frequency with the best reception in that moment. If
the reception is poor, the unit may be muted for a short time as it searches
for alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it available for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is possible that the RDS and the
alternative frequencies (AF) are deactivated ⇒ page 30. 
Changing frequency band
The currently selected frequency band (FM or AM) is indicated above the
station display.
● In Radio mode, briefly press the RADIO

⇒  Fig. 1 equipment button to dis-
play the function buttons FM1, FM2, AM1, AM2, DA1* and DA2*

● Press one of the FM or AM function buttons to switch to the DAB*, FM or
AM frequency band.
● OR: Press the RADIO
unit button as often as required to switch between
the frequency bands and memory levels. Changing stations
