plate. The mobile will be secure on the instrument panel and always within
reach of the driver only by following these procedures. Mobile telephone
connection with an external aerial is carried out subject to the hands-free
device, via the telephone support or by the Bluetooth ®
connections present
in the mobile telephone and the vehicle.
If the mobile telephone is connected to an aerial incorporated into the vehi-
cle or an exterior aerial connected to the vehicle, this will help to reduce the
electromagnetic radiation transmitted and the risk to human health. It will
also improve the quality of the connection.
If the mobile telephone is used inside the vehicle without the hands-free
system, it will not be securely fastened and will not be connected to the ex-
terior aerial of the vehicle telephone. Nor will the telephone charge if it is
not on the support. In addition, some calls may break off and the quality of
the connection will be affected.
Mobile telephones should only be used inside the vehicle if they are con-
nected to a hands-free system. SEAT recommends using an external aerial
should you wish to use a mobile telephone inside the vehicle.

WARNING
If the mobile telephone is not securely fastened in position, it could be
sent flying around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking, sudden ma-
noeuvres or accident, causing injury.
● While driving, the mobile telephone, other equipment including tele-
phone accessories such as telephone supports, notepads and navigators
must be correctly secured, away from the airbags deployment zones, or
stored in a safe place.
WARNING
When using a mobile telephone or two-way radio without connecting an
external aerial, the maximum permitted levels of electromagnetic radia-
tion in the vehicle may be exceeded, thus putting the driver and the rest
of the vehicle occupants in danger. This is also the case if the aerial has
not been correctly installed.
● A minimum of 20 centimetres should be kept between mobile tele-
phone aerials and artificial pacemakers, as mobile telephones may affect
the working of pacemakers.
● Do not carry a mobile telephone in your breast pocket directly over
the pacemaker when the mobile telephone is switched on.
● Immediately switch off the mobile telephone if you suspect any inter-
ference with pacemakers or other types of medical equipment.
