CAUTION
Always switch off your mobile phone and the pre-installation in restricted
areas or areas where the use of mobile phones is not permitted. Radiation
from a mobile phone which is switched on may interfere with sensitive tech-
nical or medical equipment, resulting in malfunction or damage to this
equipment.
Compatibility with mobile phones
Connection between a mobile phone and the navigation system will depend
on the mobile phone paired with the navigator.
New models of mobile phone are continually being launched on the market.
These are developed by different manufacturers, use different operating
systems and operate in different ways. Therefore, some mobile phones are
unable to correctly perform the functions described, or are totally incompati-
ble with the radio and navigation system.
Depending on the model of phone, some functions may not be available or
may require the phone configuration to be changed. Familiarise yourself
with your mobile phone and with the radio and navigation unit. Please read
the mobile phone manual carefully to determine the available options.
To help you when choosing a mobile phone, SEAT offers the results of the
compatibility tests on different mobile phones. Visit the SEAT web page or
ask your dealer for further information.
Even when a mobile phone is shown as compatible in the SEAT lists, it may
not work correctly when paired with the radio and navigation system, due to
the SW version of the mobile phone. In this case, we recommend you up-
date the telephone software. Mobile phone manufacturers usually make up-
dates available on Internet for their customers in order to improve the work-
ing of the phone. Using a mobile phone in the vehicle
Mobile phones send and receive radio waves, both during a call and while
on stand-by. Some scientific studies claim that radio waves above certain
values may be harmful to the human body. The authorities and international
committees have defined limits and directives to ensure that electromag-
netic radiation from mobile telephones remains within limits which are not
harmful to human health. Nevertheless, there is no conclusive scientific evi-
dence that wireless telephones are totally safe.
Therefore, some experts recommend moderate use of mobile phones until
the results of further research currently underway are published.
If a mobile phone is used inside the vehicle without first connecting it to the
vehicle telephone exterior aerial, electromagnetic radiation may be greater
than if the mobile phone had been connected to a built-in or exterior aerial.
If the vehicle has a suitable hands-free device, it complies with legislation
in many countries where the use of mobile phones within the vehicle is only
permitted using a hands-free device.
The factory-mounted hands-free system has been designed for use with
conventional mobile phones and mobile phones with Bluetooth technology.
Mobile phones must be mounted on a suitable support. This support must
be securely inserted into the base plate. This ensures that the mobile phone
is securely attached to the instrument panel, it is always within reach of the
driver and is connected to the vehicle exterior aerial.
Connecting the mobile phone to a built-in or exterior aerial, helps to reduce
the levels of electromagnetic radiation affecting the human body. The quali-
ty of the connection is also improved.
If the mobile phone is used inside the vehicle without the hands-free sys-
tem, the phone will not be securely attached to the instrument panel, nor
will be it be connected to the vehicle exterior aerial. In addition, the mobile
phone will not charge through the support. On-going calls may also be in-
terrupted and the quality of the connection affected.
80Telephone control (Phone)
Only use your mobile phone inside the vehicle if it is connected to a hands-
free system with an exterior aerial.
WARNING
A loose or incorrectly attached phone could be thrown around the vehicle
interior in the event of sudden braking, sharp movements or accident and
cause injury to passengers.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always secure the mobile phone prop-
erly outside the airbag deployment zone.
WARNING
If you use mobile phones or two-way radios in the car without connection
to an external aerial, electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could ex-
ceed limit values. This also may occur to external aerials that have not
been correctly installed.
● Maintain a distance of at least 20 centimetres between mobile phone
aerials and pacemakers, as mobile phones may have a negative effect on
pacemakers.
● Mobile phones must not be carried in shirt pockets, directly over the
pacemaker.
● If you suspect interference, switch off the telephone immediately.
Link and connect the mobile phone to a radio and
navigation system
Fig. 78 Setup: Bluetooth
settings.

Telephone control (Phone)
The mobile phone can be connected to the radio and navigation system in
two ways:
● active connection
● passive connection
With the active connection, the search for the unit is started using the radio
and navigation system. With the passive connection, the search for the unit
is started using the mobile phone. Sometimes the search process is unable
to find the device it wishes to pair to the radio and navigation system. It
may be necessary to repeat the search several times.
The following settings in the mobile phone and in the radio and navigation
system are required for both types of connection:
● The Bluetooth ®
function must be on or visible in the mobile phone and
in the radio and navigation system.
● The mobile phone keypad must be unlocked.
● The mobile phone notification and keypad tones should be switched off.
It will be necessary to enter information using the telephone keypad during
the connection process. Therefore, the mobile phone should be to hand.
This is followed by the synchronisation process between the two devices.
The mobile phone book and the list of received, missed and last dialled
calls is automatically loaded into the navigation system.

Note
When a mobile phone is connected for the first time from the navigation
system telephone menu, the phone is paired as a telephone and as a media
player (for playing music stored in the phone via Bluetooth). With a mobile
phone that has already been paired with the navigation system:
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone with the telephone menu, the
first mobile phone will be completely disconnected from the navigation sys-
tem.
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone from the media menu, the first
mobile phone will only be disconnected as a media player, but will continue
to be paired as a mobile phone. This means that the first mobile phone will
operate as a telephone, while the music played will be taken from the song
list on the second mobile phone.
Automatic pairing
When the telephone has been connected and the corresponding user pro-
file created, your telephone will automatically link up with the SEAT tele-
phone system under the following conditions:
● The mobile phone is switched on and the Bluetooth function and visibili-
ty are activated. The mobile phone must be close to the vehicle.
