be added to the existing trip recorder memo-
ry. The memory will automatically be deleted
if the journey is interrupted for more than 2
hours.
The total memory 2
c
o
llects the trip data for
any number of individual journeys (even if
the ignition is switched off for longer than
two hours) up to a total of 19 hours and 59

Operation
choosing a mobile phone, SEAT offers the re-
sults of the compatibility tests on different
mobile phones. Visit the SEAT website or ask
at your dealer.
Depending on your mobile phone model, cer-
tain functions may not be available or it may
be necessary to change the configuration. Fa-
miliarise yourself with your phone and read
the instruction manual to learn the possibili-
ties it offers.
Even when the mobile phone appears as
compatible in our list, we have noticed that
occasionally it is possible that the phone
presents an abnormal behaviour with the
system due to software errors. In this case,
we recommend you update the telephone
software. Mobile phone manufacturers usual-
ly make updates available on Internet for
their customers in order to improve the work-
ing of the phone.
In the event that you have various applica-
tions to make calls, such as internet calling,
the mobile will ask you from which applica-
tion you wish to make the call. Until confir-
mation is given you will not be able to make
the call.
If you try to make a call and it is not pro-
cessed, check your mobile phone as it is pos-
sible that a pop-up window on your tele-
phone is requesting you to select the pro-
gram with which to make the call. Bluetooth system components

AMultifunction control ››› page 75
BRadio ››› Booklet Radio User profile
Each telephone must be paired to the Blue-
tooth system before using it for the first time.
When pairing a mobile phone for the first
time, you will be asked to create a user pro-
file. A user profile is necessary for you to con-
nect the mobile phone to the SEAT Bluetoothsystem. Once the user profile has been cre-
ated, your telephone can be connected auto-
matically or manually . It is not necessary to
repeat the initial connection process each
time.
A maximum of four user profiles can be cre-
ated. If you try to create a fifth profile, the
profile which has been inactive for the most
time will automatically be deleted.
The pairing process can take several minutes
depending on the size of the phone book.
The procedure for pairing your mobile phone
to the SEAT system for the first time is descri-
bed below.
Pairing the mobile phone Follow the steps below to connect the mobile
phone to the vehicle's Bluetooth by search-
ing for devices from the mobile phone:
●
Activate the Bluetooth in the mobile phone.
● Turn on the ignition with the key. The vehi-
cle system will be visible to the mobile phone
via Bluetooth for 3 minutes. If 3 minutes have
passed you can also switch on Bluetooth visi-
bility again for 3 minutes more by pressing
the button (“PTT”) ›››
Fig. 80 .
● Se ar
ch for Bluetooth devices using the mo-
bile phone. Refer to the mobile phone man-
ual for instructions.

Communications and multimedia
Voice control orders (commands) 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.
The language is configured at the dealer and
can only be changed at a SEAT Official Serv-
ice.
The languages available in each vehicle de-
pend on the destination of the vehicle.
Note the following to ensure that you are
properly understood: ● Speak in a normal tone and without pauses
or exaggerated pronunciation. ●
Avoid poor articulation of words.
● Keep the doors, windows and 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).
● At high speeds, you might need to speak
louder to drown out background noises.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a
dialogue (e.g. other passengers speaking in
the vehicle).
● Avoid speaking when the system is saying
a cue. ●
The hands-free microphone is directed to-
wards the driver, therefore, only the driver
should try to operate the system.
● To make a call when there is heavy back-
ground noise we recommend using the
speech controlled telephone book instead of
speaking individual digits. This will help
avoid mistakes when specifying telephone
numbers.

dent. The doors can be locked using the re-
mote control key. This could become an ob-
stacle for assistance in an emergency situa-
tion.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. An
unauthorised use of your vehicle could result
in injury, damage or theft. Always take the
key with you when you leave the vehicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. Otherwise, the steer-
ing could suddenly block and it would be im-
possible to steer the vehicle. CAUTION

The essentials
Operation
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,
their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for example, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully),
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or
completely), ●
Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such as loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehicle may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid is open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Boot hatch

Opening and closing
A warning appears on the instrument panel
display if the rear lid is open or not properly
closed.* An audible warning is also given if
the boot lid is opened while the vehicle is
moving faster than 6 km/h (4 mph)*. WARNING
● Always close the rear lid properly. Risk of
accident or injury.
● The rear lid must not be opened when the
reverse or rear fog lights are lit. This may
damage the tail lights.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your hand on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it.
If not, it may open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicle. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle.
● Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, exhaust gases may enter into the in-
terior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning! ●
If you only open the rear lid, do not leave
the key inside. The vehicle cannot be opened
if the key is left inside. Electric windows

●
The electric windows will work until the ig-
nition has been switched off and one of the
front doors has been opened.
● If necessary, use the safety switch to disa-
ble the rear electric windows. Make sure that
they have been disabled. Note
If the window is not able to close because it
is stiff or because of an obstruction, the win-
dow will automatically open again
››› page 88
. If this happens, check why the
w indo
w could not be closed before attempt-
ing to close it again. One-touch opening and closing*
One-touch opening and closing means you
do not have to hold down the button.
Buttons
››› Fig. 87 1 ,
2 ,
4 and
5 have
two positions for opening windows and two
for closing them. This makes it easier to open
and close windows to the desired position.
One-touch closing
– Pull up the window button briefly up to the
second position. The window closes fully. One-touch opening
– Push down the window button briefly up to
the second position. The window opens
fully.
Restoring one-touch opening and closing
– The automatic open and close function will
not work if the battery has been temporari-
ly disconnected. The function can be re-
stored as follows:
– Close the window as far as it will go by lift-
ing and holding the electric window switch.
– Release the switch and then lift it again for
1 second. This will re-enable the automatic
function.
If you push (or pull) a button to the first
stage, the window will open (or close) until
you release the button. If you push or lift the
button briefly to the second stage, the win-
dow will open (one-touch opening) or close
(one-touch closing) automatically. If you op-
erate the button while the window is opening
or closing, it stops at this position.
Roll-back function The roll-back function reduces the risk of in-
jury when the electric windows close.●
If a window is obstructed when closing au-
tomatically, the window stops at this point
and lowers immediately ››› .
● Next, check why the window does not close
before attempting it again.
● If you try within the following 10 seconds
and the window closes again with difficulty
or there is an obstruction, the automatic clos-
ing will stop working for 10 seconds.
● If the window is still obstructed, the win-
dow will stop at this point.
● If there is no obvious reason why the win-
dow cannot be closed, try to close it again by
pulling the tab within ten seconds. The win-
dow closes with maximum force. The roll-
back function is now deactivated.
If more than 10 seconds pass, the window
will open fully when you operate one of the
buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated. WARNING
● Incorrect use of the electric windows can
result in injury.
● Always take the ignition key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even if you only intend to
be gone for a short time. Please ensure that
children are never left alone inside the vehi-
cle.
● The electric windows will work until the ig-
nition has been switched off and one of the
front doors has been opened. 88
