correctly.Bluetooth®
Bluetooth technology enables a wireless connection between 
a mobile phone and the on-board phone system.Fig. 68  Telephone: Number (with Bluetooth symbol)The mobile phone 
8) must be linked once to the mobile phone 
adapter in the vehicle. This procedure involves various steps, 
depending on the mobile phone yo u are using. After switching the 
ignition on (and with the vehicle at a standstill), your mobile phone 
can be connected to the mobile phone adapter.
– Make sure that no other mobile phone is connected to the mobile  phone interface via Bluetooth.
– Switch the ignition on. – Select the appropriate menu option on your mobile phone to 
search for Bluetooth compatible devices (i.e. the mobile phone 
interface).
– Connect your mobile phone to the mobile phone interface. Your  mobile phone interface will use the name “SEAT XXXX” when it 
connects with the mobile phone.
– Enter the Bluetooth PIN (“1234”) for the on-board mobile phone  system within about 30 seconds.
9)
– Wait until your mobile phone indicates that it has bonded. The Bluetooth symbol    ⇒fig. 68  should appear.Maximum four mobile phones
You can link up to four mobile phones to the mobile phone adapter. However, 
it is only possible to activate one connection at a time. If you bond a fifth 
mobile phone to the mobile phone interface, the system will delete the device 
which has not been used for the longest time in conjunction with the mobile 
phone interface.
Connecting and disconnecting
A mobile phone which has been linked to the mobile phone adapter and is 
ready to operate will be connected automatically when you switch the ignition 
on. On some mobile phones, you have to confirm the connection.
The Bluetooth connection is terminated when the key is removed from the 
ignition lock. With most mobile phones the Bluetooth connection will also be 
terminated when you insert the mobile phone in the adapter.
8)Please make sure that the mobile phone supports the hands free profile.
9)You should change the Bluetooth PIN  ⇒page 73 to prevent unauthorised use of your
mobile phone.

–Press the  Dial control button.Loading the phone book entries
Provided your mobile phone supports this function, the phone book entries 
will be automatically scanned into the memory of the mobile phone adapter 
after you have switched on the ignition and inserted the mobile phone in the 
adapter. This process may take several minutes, depending on how many 
entries are stored on the mobile phone. The message  Please wait... will 
appear on the instrument panel display during this process.
The last four phone books loaded into the mobile phone adapter remain 
stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the mobile phone 
adapter, the phone book from the mobile phone which has not been used for 
the longest time is deleted from the mobile phone adapter. Up to 500 phone 
book entries per phone book can be stored in the memory.
Using the mobile phone again later
If the SIM card is identical, the phone book entries are already stored in the 
mobile phone adapter. You can use the phone book almost immediately.
The system searches for changes or new entries and stores them automati-
cally. This process can take several minutes. If your vehicle is equipped with 
the speech control system*  ⇒page 75, you cannot record any spoken names 
in the phone book for the speech control system while phone book entries are 
being loaded from the mobile phone.
Displaying the phone book entries

WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers. Please 
see  ⇒page 6, “Notes on road safety”.•Observe traffic regulations when driving. The route calculated by the 
navigation system is a recommendation of how best to reach a destination. 
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always 
take precedence. Pay attention to traffic lights, no-stopping signs, lane 
change restrictions, one-way streets, etc.Caution
The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables you to 
hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade sirens. 
Failure to do so may cause an accident.
IntroductionIntroductionThe navigation system makes time-consuming map reading superfluous.
During route guidance you receive information on the dash panel display 
⇒ page 86, fig. 93  regarding vehicle position, turn-off information (direction 
and distance to turn-off) and estimated arrival time. Additionally, you receive 
spoken navigation information  ⇒page 87.
There are two possibilities for route guidance:•Route without stopover (single destination mode)•Route with stopovers (route plan)
Route without stopover (single destination mode)
In the single destination mode you can drive directly to a destination 
⇒ page 91.
Route with stopovers (route plan)
In the route with stopover mode ( ⇒page 92) you can enter up to six stopo-
vers and a final destination.
For example, when travelling you can save time by finding the nearest filling 
station in unfamiliar towns. You can also make a stopover to eat in a restau-
rant or visit a tourist attraction.

display will show a list of the selected route criteria options ( ⇒page 103) 
and the dash panel display will show an arrow. This arrow faces in the direc-
tion of the entered destination.
When route calculation is complete, guidance is given by spoken driving 
instructions and symbols. The spoken navigation directions are given in good 
time before a turn-off.
You can use the following options to repeat the last navigation voice 
message:•Press the rotary pushbutton while in the Nav-Info menu.•Press the control button for  Nav-Info if you are not  already in the Nav-Info  
menu.•press the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel*

which the navigation system voice guidance is given can be changed 
⇒ page 116.Caution
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always take 
precedence.
Note
•You can adjust the volume of the voice guidance prompts as they are 
being announced using the on/off button  ⇒page 11 on the navigation 
control console or the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering 
wheel*  ⇒page 14.•If the vehicle is in a location that cannot be read by the navigation system 
(e.g. car park or garage), a voice message will inform you of such. The arrow 
in the dash panel display faces in the direction of the entered destination.•In neighbouring countries, the instructions given are slightly different to 
those of your country of origin, as the navigation CD for these countries only 
contains the main roads.Dynamic navigation
The dynamic navigation function calculates routes based on 
the currently available TMC traffic messages.If the dynamic navigation function  ⇒page 103 is activated and a TMC radio 
station is set, the system constantly checks whether relevant TMC messages 
are available for the selected route. If the navigation system then determines 
that a TMC traffic message is relevant for the current route, the system will 
automatically calculate a new route plan to the destination.
The navigation system receives and processes the traffic announcements 
issued by certain channels (TMC) in addition to regular programming. The 
reception of TMC traffic messages is free of charge in Germany.
Note
•Please note that the TMC messages sent by the radio stations may not 
always be complete and correct.
