The sound setting for treble and bass apply to the operating mode currently
active. The balance and fader settings are independent for the operating
mode.
For example, if you change the bass setting while playing a CD, this will have
no effect on the radio sound settings.Note

Adjusting sound settings
60DSP ("Digital Signal Processing")GALA are the German initials for the speed-dependent
volume adjustment function.– Press the control button for the Sound function from an audio or
SETUP menu or
– Select DSP ⇒ page 59, fig. 74 .
– Select GALA ⇒ fig. 76.
– Select on of the five levels ⇒ fig. 76 or
– Select off . The function will be switched off.The GALA function boosts the volume level accordingly as the vehicle's speed
increases to drown out background noise.
If you select level 1, the volume will only be boosted slightly as speed
increases. If you select level 5, the volume will be boosted more strongly as
speed increases.
Dynamic noise compensation*Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjusts the music volume so that
the music is not drowned out by background noise. The volume will seem to
maintain its normal decibel strength.
The dynamic noise compensation function responds to both continuous and
transient background noise.
How does the dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the interior registers the music volume and the volume of
background noise. The background noise is then digitally analysed and proc-
essed by the system. At the same time, the sound system boosts the play-
back volume accordingly in the affected frequency range so that the music
can still be heard clearly.
Note
Any malfunction of the AudioPilot system is indicated by a triple warning
gong which sounds when the navigation system is switched on. If this should
happen, please have the AudioPilot system checked by a qualified
workshop.

Mobile phone system*
68Mobile phone system*IntroductionA mobile phone can be connected to the on-board phone
system and operated via the navigation system, the multi-
function steering wheel*, the telephone speech control
system* or the speech dialogue system*.The mobile phone adapter is located either on the centre console or in the
centre armrest. A special mobile phone adapter ⇒page 69 is needed in
order to connect your mobile phone to this adapter. Mobile phone adapters
are available from your Dealer or specialist retailers.
You can then operate your mobile phone using the navigation system, the
multi-function steering wheel* ⇒page 12 or the speech dialogue system*
⇒ page 86. You can also use the talk button * on the mobile phone
adapter to answer and end a call.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter, call signals are sent
and received via the external car aerial. This ensures good transmission
quality and keeps the mobile phone battery charged.
WARNING
•According to the health authorities, mobile phones may interfere with
the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should therefore
be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.
−Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
− If you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immedi-
ately.
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver,
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use
the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle
in all situations.Caution
•Always obey the laws controlling the use of telephones in vehicles!•Always switch off your mobile phone in areas where using mobile phones
is prohibited!•Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of explo-
sion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked.
Such places are filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or trans-
port vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking
propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust
particles (e.g. from flour or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning
also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your
engine.Note
•In order to use the mobile phone functions, your mobile phone must be
compatible with the mobile phone adapter in the vehicle and the functions
must be supported by your service provider.•The range of the handset may be affected in isolated areas (such as a
tunnel or underground garage).•Some places have no range at all. You will not be able to use the tele-
phone in these places.

−
Therefore, you should always operate mobile phones with an external
aerial. It is also valid for the use of mobiles using Bluetooth technology.
The external aerial directs the electromagnetic fields to the exterior,
which reduces the field strength in the vehicle interior.
− If retrofitting an external aerial, please ensure that it is installed
correctly.
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth enables a wireless connection between a mobile
phone and the hands free telephone system.The mobile phone
3) must be linked once to the mobile phone
adapter in the vehicle. This procedure involves various steps,
depending on the mobile phone you 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 the mobile phone to the mobile phone interface. Your on-board phone system will use the name “Seat XXXX” when it
connects with the mobile phone. – Enter the Bluetooth PIN (“1234”) for the on-board phone system
within about 30 seconds.
4)
– Wait until your mobile phone indicates that it has bonded. The Bluetooth symbol ⇒page 16, fig. 16 will appear in the display.Up to 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.
Autonomy
The Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the mobile phone
adapter is restricted to the interior of the vehicle. The connection can be
susceptible to interference caused by other electronic devices or obstacles
between the devices. For example, the mobile phone adapter may have diffi-
culty detecting your mobile phone or communicating with it if you keep it in
your jacket pocket.
3)Please make sure that the mobile phone supports the hands free profile.
4)Yo u s h o u l d ch a n g e t h e B l u e t o o t h P I N ⇒page 84 to prevent unauthorised use of your
mobile phone.
