The AUX-IN input is located in one of the following places:
●
in the centre console between the front seats ⇒ Fig. 40 - ;
● above the storage compartment in the front centre console ⇒ Fig. 40 -
;

play music (i.e. iPod ®
or an mp3 player) using the factory-fitted audio sys-
tem or the navigation system.
MDI Input
The MDI input is located above the storage compartment in the front centre
console ⇒ Fig. 40 - ;
Safety FirstOperating instructionsPractical TipsTechnical specifications
82Communication
The MDI input is composed of the USB and AUX-IN inputs.
The purpose of the MDI input is to connect external devices (i.e. iPod ®
, mp3
players or USB memories) in order to play music using the audio system or
the navigation system.
In order to connect Apple multimedia devices (such as an iPod ®
/iPhone ®
…)
the corresponding adaptor from the SEAT Original Accessories catalogue is
required.
Voice control
Fig. 41 Multifunction
steering wheel: Voice
control
The time during which the system is ready to receive and execute voice com-
mands is called dialogue. The system gives off acoustic warnings and if
necessary will take you through the respective functions.
The Help menu should be used the first time the voice system is used to be-
come more familiar with the way it works. For voice commands to work optimally, certain factors must be taken into
account:
●
Speak slowly and clearly, as far as possible. The system will not recog-
nise words pronounced unclearly, or words and figures in which syllables
are omitted.
● Speak at a normal volume, without exaggerated intonation or long pau-
ses.
● Close doors, windows and sunroof to dampen and eliminate annoying
noises from outside. Do not turn the air outlets towards the roof.
● When driving at high speed you should speak louder.
● Keep accidental noise in the vehicle during the dialogue to a minimum,
e.g. passengers talking at the same time.
● Do not talk while the system is providing information.
The voice-control microphone is located in the roof trim and faces the driver
and front passenger. This is why the driver and front passenger should use
the device.
Enter the telephone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous row of digits memo-
rised in succession (the whole number at once) or as blocks of digits (sepa-
rated by brief pauses). After each series of digits (separated by a brief
pause) the digits recognised until then are repeated.
Digits 0 - 9 and the symbols +, , # are allowed. The system does not rec-
ognise coherent numeric combinations such as twenty-three.
Voice control activation
Press the 1
⇒ Fig. 41 button briefly on the multi-function steering
wheel.
Voice control deactivation
If the system is giving a message it should be stopped by pressing the
1
⇒ Fig. 41 button briefly on the multi-function steering wheel.
151
Driving
– Press the interlock button on the selector lever knob at the
same time and move the selector lever to position N (if the se-
lector lever were to be moved back to position P then it would
lock again).
Foot pedals
Under no circumstances must correct use of the pedals be impaired!
Only a floor mat secured to the two corresponding fastening points may be
used in the driver footwell.
Only use floor mats from the catalogue of SEAT Original Accessories that
fasten at two points.
WARNING
No object must be left in the driver footwell. Risk of preventing or limit-
ing use of the foot pedals!
Parking aid*
Fig. 108 Parking aid:
sensor range
Ultrasound sensors are used so that the parking aid system can calculate
the distance between the rear bumper and an obstacle. The sensors are lo-
cated in the rear bumper.
Sensor range
The warning begins at a distance of 160 cm from the obstacle (zone A
⇒ Fig. 108). As the obstacle is approached, the audible warning sounds
with increasing frequency.
At a distance of approx. 30 cm (zone B
), a warning tone will sound contin-
uously. Danger zone. Stop reversing immediately!
In vehicles factory-fitted with certain audio or radio-navigation system mod-
els, the distance from the obstacle is displayed graphically on the screen.
See the audio or navigation system Instruction Manual.
In vehicles factory-fitted with a towing system, the rear area at which the
system starts to indicate the obstacle is extended by around 5 centimetres.
The length of the vehicle can be extended by a detachable towing bracket.
In vehicles factory-fitted with towing equipment, the sensors are deactiva-
ted when towing a trailer or caravan.
