tional modules from which the audio and tel-
ephone functions of the vehicle can be con-
trolled.
There are two versions of the multifunction
module:
●
Audio version , to control the available au-
dio functions from the steering wheel.
● Audio + Telephone version , to control the
available audio functions and the telephone

Th
anks 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 messages and can
receive spoken orders (commands).
If a call is received, then the dialogue is im-
mediately interrupted. You can use the

You can change the sound volume at any
time with the radio button or with the buttons
on the multifunction control.
The volume transmitted by the speaker de-
pends, 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 vehi-
cle speaker.
Adjust 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

system will answer with “Operation cancel-
led
” and the dialogue will be ended.

Advice
carried out only by a specialised workshop or
a petrol station.
Caring for the vehicle interior
Cleaning plastic parts and the
instrument panel –
Use a clean, damp cloth to clean plastic
parts and the dash panel.
– If this does not provide satisfactory results,
use a special solvent-free plastic cleaning
product. WARNING
Never clean the dash panel and the airbag
module surface with cleaners containing sol-
vents. Solvents cause the surface to become
porous. If the airbag triggered, plastic parts
could become detached and cause injuries. CAUTION
Cleaning products which contain solvents will
damage the material. Wooden trim cleaning*
–
Clean the wooden trim with a water-mois-
tened clean cloth. –
If this does not provide satisfactory results,
use a gentle
soap solution. CAUTION
Cleaning products which contain solvents will
damage the material. Cloth seat covers and fabric trim
cleaning
Cloth seat covers and fabric trim on the
doors, headlining etc. can be cleaned with a
special interior cleaner or with dry foam and
a soft brush.
Cleaning the radio and climate
controls To clean the radio and/or climate controls,
use a soft damp cloth. For more resistant dirt,
a neutral soap solution may be used.
Leather cleaning* Normal cleaning
–
Moisten a cotton or woollen cloth with wa-
ter and wipe over the leather surfaces. Cleaning stubborn stains
– More stubborn dirt can be removed using a
mild soap solution (pure liquid soap; two
tablespoons diluted in one litre of water)
and a cloth.
– Do not let the water soak through the leath-
er or soak into the seams.
– Then wipe off with a soft, dry cloth.
Leather maintenance – The leather should be treated twice a year
with a special leather-care product, availa-
ble at Technical Services.
– Apply these products very sparingly.
– Then wipe off with a soft, dry cloth.
SEAT does everything possible to preserve
the genuine qualities of this natural product.
Due to the natural properties of the specially
selected hides employed, the finished leath-
er has a certain sensitivity to grease and dirt,
etc. so a degree of care is required in every-
day use and when looking after the leather.
Dust and grit in the pores and seams can
scratch and damage the surface. If the vehi-
cle is under solar radiation for long periods,
the leather should be protected to prevent it
from fading. However, slight colour variations
in high-quality natural leather are normal.
