Changing between user profiles
When a mobile phone is connected to the radio and navigation system, a
user profile is created for that mobile.
Up to four different user profiles can be created. If four user profiles have
already been created and you wish to create a new profile, it will be neces-
sary to first delete one of the previous profiles.
It is only possible to connect one mobile phone to the hands-free profile of
the radio and navigation system at a given time.
Up to two different Bluetooth devices can be connected at the same time.
Each device will be linked to a different profile (one as hands-free and one
as multimedia). It is not possible to connect two devices under the same
profile (e.g. two mobile phones as hands-free or two multimedia players at
the same time).
To delete a user profile, proceed as follows:

● Press the Delete
function button or the lower button to confirm the pro-
cedure.
After deleting the phone, there will only be three entries in the list of con-
nected units. It will now be possible to start a new connection to another
mobile phone.
Note
For the purposes of security, Bluetooth visibility in the radio and navigation
system is limited to 5 minutes.
Note
The Bluetooth connection has a maximum range of 10 metres. An existing
Bluetooth connection will be disconnected if the distance between the con-
nected units is greater than this. The connection is automatically resumed
when the units are back within the range.
Note
When a mobile phone is connected for the first time from the navigation
system telephone menu, the phone is paired as a telephone and as a media
player (for playing music stored in the phone via Bluetooth). With a mobile
phone that has already been paired with the navigation system:
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone with the telephone menu, the
first mobile phone will be completely disconnected from the navigation sys-
tem.
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone from the media menu, the first
mobile phone will only be disconnected as a media player, but will continue
to be paired as a mobile phone. This means that the first mobile phone will
operate as a telephone, while the music played will be taken from the song
list on the second mobile phone. 
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-

WARNING
Telephone calls and the use of the mobile phone pre-installation while
driving may distract the driver from the road and result in accident.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times, e.g. emergency service sirens.
● Your call may be cut off or you may be unable to make calls if you are
in an area with no mobile phone network coverage, an area where the
network is very weak or, in some cases, in a tunnel, garage or underpass.
This also means that no emergency calls can be made.
● 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.
WARNING
If the mobile phone is not securely fastened in position, it could be sent
flying around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking, sudden manoeu-
vres or accident, causing injury.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always secure the mobile phone prop-
erly outside the airbag deployment zone.
WARNING
Mobile phones may affect the operation of pacemakers. Always maintain
a suitable distance between the phone and the pacemaker.
● Maintain a gap of roughly 20 centimetres between the aerials of the
mobile phone and the pacemaker, as mobile phones may affect the func-
tioning of pacemakers.
WARNING (Continued)
● Do not keep mobile phones in breast pockets directly above pacemak-
ers.
● Switch off the mobile phone immediately if you suspect there may be
interference.
WARNING
An unfolded armrest may restrict the driver's movements causing a seri-
ous accident.
● While driving, the armrest should always be closed.
CAUTION
High speeds, poor weather or road conditions and the quality of reception
can all affect the quality of a telephone conversation in the vehicle.
Note
● The instructions shown on the screen for each telephone menu will de-
pend on the mobile phone used. There may be variations.
● Please observe instructions for the use of the mobile phone and phone
accessories, together with instructions referring to the use of headphones.
● You may experience problems with reception or your call may be cut off
in areas without network coverage.
● Most electronic devices are shielded against high-frequency signals.
However, some electronic devices may not be shielded against radio fre-
quency signals from the telephone. This could lead to malfunction.
● 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 control system will depend on the country in
which the vehicle is sold. Please ask the Technical Service to change the
predefined language if required. 

Bluetooth System
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. 
Using a mobile phone in the vehicle
Mobile telephones transmit and receive radio waves, both when in use and
when on stand-by. Scientific studies state that radio waves exceeding cer-
tain values may be harmful to the human body. International committees
and authorities have established limits and directives in order to ensure
electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones remains within certain limits
that do not endanger human health. Nevertheless, there is no conclusive
scientific evidence that wireless telephones are totally safe.
Therefore, some experts recommend that use of mobile phone be kept to a
minimum until the results of current research are published.
If a mobile phone is used inside the vehicle without first connecting it to the
vehicle telephone exterior aerial, electromagnetic radiation may be greater
than if the mobile phone had been connected to a built-in or exterior aerial.
If the vehicle has a suitable hands-free device, it complies with legislation
in many countries where the use of mobile phones within the vehicle is only
permitted using a hands-free device.
The factory-mounted hands-free system has been designed for use with
conventional mobile phones and mobile phones with Bluetooth technology.
Mobile phones must be mounted on a suitable support. This support must
be securely inserted into the base plate. This ensures that the mobile phone
is securely attached to the dash panel, it is always within reach of the driver
and is connected to the vehicle exterior aerial. Connecting the mobile phone to a built-in or exterior aerial, helps to reduce
the levels of electromagnetic radiation affecting the human body. The quali-
ty of the connection is also improved.
If the mobile phone is used inside the vehicle without the hands-free sys-
tem, the phone will not be securely attached to the instrument panel, nor
will it be connected to the vehicle exterior aerial. In addition, the mobile
phone will not charge through the support. On-going calls may also be in-
terrupted and the quality of the connection affected.
Only use your mobile phone inside the vehicle if it is connected to a hands-
free system with an exterior aerial.WARNING

Getting started: pairing
Creation of user profile
Each telephone must be paired with 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 91, 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. 

90Bluetooth System
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 90 and ⇒  page 90.

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.

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
