2012 Seat Leon 5D BLUETOOTH SYSTEM

8Getting started: pairing
Upon attempting to connect for the first time, the system will ask
you to confirm that the password shown on the instrument panel
display is the same as that displayed on the mobile. Confirmation
must be made both on the mobile device and on the instrument
panel using controls on the steering wheel. This password will be a
6 digit code generated randomly each time according to SSP tech-
nology. The system is capable of supporting SSP (Secure Simple
Pairing) in order for the pairing to be performed in a completely se-
cure manner. SSP pairing can only be carried out if your device
supports the SSP function.
–Confirm the connection instructions in the mobile phone.
– Confirm on the instrument panel the message saying that a new
profile has been created.
– The contacts in your mobile phone book are copied to the vehi-
cle system.
– The pairing is complete. 
Pairing with the mobile phone
Follow the instructions below to pair the mobile phone with the
Bluetooth system:
– Activate the Bluetooth on the mobile phone.
– Turn on the ignition with the key. The vehicle system will be visi-
ble to the mobile phone via Bluetooth for 3 minutes. If the 3 mi- nutes have passed you can also switch on Bluetooth visibility
again for 3 minutes by pressing the button “PTT”.
– Search for Bluetooth devices using the mobile phone. Refer to
the mobile phone manual for instructions.
– A list of devices found is displayed on the mobile phone. From
this list, select the device SEAT_BT. Upon attempting to connect
for the first time, the system will ask you to confirm that the
password shown on the instrument panel display is the same
as that displayed on the mobile. Confirmation must be made
both on the mobile device and on the instrument panel using
controls on the steering wheel. This password will be a 6 digit code generated randomly each time according to SSP technolo-
gy. The system is capable of supporting SSP (Secure Simple
Pairing) in order for the pairing to be performed in a completely
secure manner. SSP pairing can only be carried out if your de-
vice supports the SSP function.
– Next, accept the connection instructions on the mobile phone.
– When asked to do so, enter the PIN number 1234 and confirm.
– The contacts from the mobile phone's memory and/or SIM
card 1)
are transferred to the vehicle system. Some mobile
phones may display a message asking for confirmation of ac-
cess to the phone book or other options. These messages
should be accepted in order for the hands-free system to access
the information contained on the mobile and in order to carry
out the complete functions of the system.
– The pairing is complete. 

Operation via voice control
Introduction
The voice control system can be activated with the “Push to
talk” or “PTT” button .
Thanks to the voice control you can use many telephone functions without
having to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
Dialogue is the time during which the voice control system transmits mes-
sages and can receive spoken orders (commands).
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted.
You can use the HELP in any part of the menu. If you have any doubts or
cannot decide the Command to use, the system will provide you with the
available options.
You can CANCEL in any part of the menu. 
Basic functions available with the voice controls
Volume adjustment
You can change the sound volume at any time with the radio button or with
the buttons on the multi-function control.
The volume transmitted by the speaker depends, among other aspects, on
the volume transmitted by the mobile. If the volume of the mobile is low, or
on silent, it is possible that no sound will be heard through the car speaker.
Set the volume of your Bluetooth device to the maximum.
Do not leave headphones connected to the Bluetooth device when you wish
to use the hands-free system. Complying with these requirements, if the speaker volume is very high, ad-
just it using the controls on the steering wheel or the volume control on the
radio.
Voice control connection (Dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button

on the multi-function control.
If the system does not recognise your command, there is a first help option
which allows a new input. After a second failed try the system repeats the
second part of the help. After a third failure the system will answer with
“Operation cancelled” and the dialogue will be ended.
Disconnection of the voice control (Dialogue)
You can end the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button 
on the multi-function control. If the system is waiting for a command, you
can end the dialogue with the “CANCEL” command.
Interruption of the current message
By pressing the PTT button  during the message, only the current mes-
sage is ended and it is possible to give another command. 
Correct use of the voice controlNote the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
● Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.
● Avoid poor articulation of words.
● Keep the doors, windows and sliding sun roof closed if possible to avoid
background noises that might affect the system.
● Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the
interior light). 

13
Operation
● At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out back-
ground noises.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other vehicle
occupants speaking in the vehicle).
● Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
● The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, on-
ly the driver should try to operate the system.
● To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend us-
ing the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers. 
Voice control orders (commands)
The voice control can be used in the following languages: Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English, US English, French, Canadian
French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch.

sonal details such as PIN, contacts, calls..., and restore settings.
DIAL NUMBER command
After saying the DIAL NUMBER command the system asks you to enter a tel-
ephone number. The telephone number can be entered as a sequence of
digits pronounced coherently (complete number), in series of digits (sepa-
rated by a brief pause) or in digits pronounced separately. After each series
of digits (separated by a brief pause) the digits recognised until then are re-
peated. 

14Operation
Digits 0 - 9 and symbols +, , # are allowed. The system does not recog-
nise coherent numeric combinations such as twenty-three, only individual
digits (two, three). 
