WARNING
● Please concentrate on driving. As the driver, you are also responsible
for road safety. For this reason, you should only use the functions when
the traffic situation allows so and in a manner that allows you to main-
tain control of the vehicle. Otherwise, you run the risk of causing an acci-
dent.
● The speech system must not be used in cases of emergency, since the
voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or de-
layed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!
● Always observe applicable legislation.
● Adjust the volume so that external warning sounds (e.g. emergency
vehicles, etc.) are always audible.
Note
● The voice control system is only available in the following languages:
Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English, French, Canadian French, Ital-
ian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch. For other languages, the prede-
fined language for the voice instructions is English. Please take the vehicle
to a Technical Service if you wish to change the language.
● There may be restrictions on the use of Bluetooth devices in some coun-
tries. Information is available from the local authorities.
● If you connect the mobile phone Bluetooth system to a Bluetooth de-
vice, consult the safety warnings in its instruction manual. Use compatible
Bluetooth products only.
● If a call is received or made using the Bluetooth system when the radio
is switched off, this will always automatically turn on providing that the igni-
tion is switched on.
● If a call is received or made, the sound of the audio source that is cur-
rently being listened to will be muted in order for the telephone conversa-
tion to be carried out without unpleasant background noise.
● Adjust the volume of the conversation on the mobile phone to “maxi-
mum” and modify the volume on the radio volume control. Compatibility with mobile phones
New models of mobile phones are being released constantly by the differ-
ent brands, with different operating systems and different ways of operat-
ing. For this reason there are some mobile phones that do not perform
some of the functions correctly or are even totally incompatible. To help you
when choosing a mobile phone, SEAT offers the results of the compatibility
tests on different mobile phones. Visit the SEAT website or ask at your deal-
er.
Depending on your mobile phone model, certain functions may not be avail-
able or it may be necessary to change the configuration. Familiarise yourself
with your phone and read the instruction manual to learn the possibilities it
offers.
Even when the mobile phone appears as compatible in our list, we have no-
ticed that occasionally it is possible that the phone presents an abnormal
behaviour with the system due to software errors. In this case, we recom-
mend you update the telephone software. Mobile phone manufacturers
usually make updates available on Internet for their customers in order to
improve the working of the phone.
In the event that you have various applications to make calls, such as inter-
net calling, the mobile will ask you from which application you wish to make
the call. Until confirmation is given you will not be able to make the call.
If you try to make a call and it is not processed, check your mobile phone as
it is possible that your a pop-up window on your telephone is requesting
you to select the program with which to make the call. 

Creation of user profile
Each telephone must be paired to the Bluetooth 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 profile. A user profile is necessary for you to connect the mobile phone
to the SEAT system. Once the user profile has been created, your telephone
can be connected automatically or manually ⇒ page 41, Automatic pair-
ing, without having to repeat the initial pairing process each time. The
phone will be connected automatically as long as the corresponding user
profile has not been deleted using the telephone menu or the Factory set-
tings function.
A maximum of four user profiles can be created. If you try to create a fifth
profile the system will ask you to erase a profile of your choice.
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 described below. The procedure can be started from the vehicle sys-
tem using the Telephone menu on the instrument panel or from the mobile
phone. Both methods are described below ⇒ page 39 and ⇒ page 40. 
Pairing the mobile phone with the system in the
instrument panel menu
In order to pair the mobile phone with the vehicle's Bluetooth by searching
for devices from the Telephone menu in the instrument panel, follow the
steps below: 

40Phone mode
In the mobile phone
● Activate the Bluetooth function on your mobile phone.
● Activate the Bluetooth visibility on your mobile phone.
In the vehicle
● Turn on the ignition with the key.
● Select the Telephone menu on the instrument panel display.
● Select the function Search for Telephones to search for Bluetooth devices
within the range of the system. At the end of the search, a list of the devices
found is displayed.
Pairing the mobile phone
● Select the desired telephone from the list on the instrument panel dis-
play.
● Next, accept the connection instructions on the mobile phone.
● When requested, follow the steps to confirm/enter the PIN. Depending
on the technology supported by your mobile, different actions will be re-
quested.
● Upon attempting to connect for the first time, the system will ask you to
confirm that the password shown on the dash panel display is the same as
that displayed on the mobile phone. Confirmation must be made both on
the mobile device and on the instrument panel using controls on the steer-
ing wheel. This password will be a 6 digit code generated randomly each
time according to SSP technology. The system is capable of supporting SSP
(Secure Simple Pairing) in order for the pairing to be performed in a com-
pletely secure 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 vehicle sys-
tem.
● 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 in the mobile phone.
● Turn on the ignition with the key. The vehicle system will be visible to
the mobile phone via Bluetooth for 3 minutes. If the 3 minutes have passed
you can also switch on Bluetooth visible again for 3 minutes by pressing the
button “PTT”.
● Search for Bluetooth devices using the mobile phone. Refer to the mo-
bile 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 dash
panel display is the same as that displayed on the mobile phone. Confirma-
tion 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 technology. 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 car-
ried out if your device 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 mes-
sage asking for confirmation of access 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.
Note
● The visibility of the Bluetooth system in the vehicle is activated for 3 mi-
nutes when the ignition is turned on with the key. After 3 minutes, if you
want to reactivate the visibility you can do so by using the menus on the in-
strument panel ⇒ page 48 or via voice control ⇒ page 43.
● If for any reason you take more than 3 minutes to perform these steps or
more than 30 seconds to enter the PIN, you will have to start the process
over again. 
Automatic pairing
When the telephone has been connected and the corresponding user pro-
file created, your telephone will automatically link up with the SEAT tele-
phone system under the following conditions:
● The mobile phone is switched on and the Bluetooth function and visibili-
ty are activated. The mobile phone must be close to the vehicle.
● The vehicle system has Bluetooth visibility switched on (during the 3 mi-
nutes following activation of the contact or after pressing the button “PTT”).
● The automatic connection was accepted during the questions of the first
connection. Operation using the steering wheel buttons

Operation via voice control
Introduction
The voice control system is activated by the “Push to talk (PTT) button”
⇒  Fig. 25  or ⇒ Fig. 26  . 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 when using voice control
Adjusting the volume
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 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.
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 speaker volume is very high, ad-
just it using the controls on the steering wheel or the volume control on the
radio.
Connecting voice control (Dialogue)
Briefly press the “PTT” button ⇒ Fig. 25  or ⇒ Fig. 26  on the steering
wheel multifunction control to start the dialogue at any moment. 

44Phone mode
If the system does not recognise your command, there is a first help option
which allows a new input. After the second failed attempt, the system re-
peats the second part of the assistance cue. After a third failure the system
will answer with “Operation cancelled” and the dialogue will be ended.
Disconnecting voice control (Dialogue)
Briefly press the “PTT” button ⇒ Fig. 25  or ⇒  Fig. 26  on the steering
wheel multifunction control to end the dialogue at any moment. If the sys-
tem is waiting for a command, you can end the dialogue with the “CANCEL”
command.
Interrupting an on-going message
By pressing the “PTT button” ⇒ Fig. 25  or ⇒ Fig. 26  during the mes-
sage, only the current message is ended and it is possible to give another
command. 
Proper use of the voice control
Note 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 sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground 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 back-
ground noises.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passen-
gers 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 commands
Voice control is available in the following languages: Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English, US English, French, Canadian
French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch.
The user can change the language in the instrument panel using the multi-
function steering wheel ⇒ Booklet Instruction Manual.
The languages available in each vehicle depend on the destination of the
vehicle.

Depending on the configuration of the system of the country, this command can be inver-

b) Because of the different pronunciations of each language, some of the names may not be
read as you expected. Because of this you can record up to 15 contacts with your own
voice.
c) It is advised to restore the default settings upon selling your vehicle in order to delete per-
sonal details such as PIN, contacts, calls, etc., 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. 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).
Dialogue options
The voice control system includes the options, short dialogue and long dia-
logue. The default setting is the long dialogue. The short dialogue is recom-
mended when you are familiar with the orders and the structure of the voice
control menu. The long dialogue offers more tips and information about the
voice control procedure. It can be changed via voice control ⇒ page 44.
