system (PHONE)
Introduction to the telephone
management system General information The Telephone functions described below
can be used through the Infotainment system
if there is a mobile telephone connected to it
via Bluetooth
®
››› page 58
.
In or der f
or the mobile telephone to be able
to connect to the Infotainment system the tel-
ephone must be equipped with Bluetooth®
.
If there is no mobile telephone connected to
the Infotainment system, the telephone man-
agement system will not be available.
The instructions shown on the screen for the
telephone menus will depend on the mobile
telephone used. There may be variations.
Only use compatible Bluetooth ®
devices. For
further information on compatible Blue-
tooth ®
products, ask your nearest SEAT deal-
er or check on the internet.
Use the instruction manual of the mobile tel-
ephone and of any accessories.
If you detect any strange behaviour between
your mobile telephone and the Infotainment system, restart your mobile by switching it off
and on again.
You may experience poor reception or may be
cut off in areas where the signal is weak.
Most electronic devices are shielded against
HF (high-frequency) signals. In any case, the
electronic equipment may not be protected
from the HF signals of the telephone man-
agement system. This may cause interfer-
ence.
WARNING
Speaking by telephone and operating the mo-
bile telephone whilst driving can distract you
from the road and cause an accident.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● In areas of little or no coverage or, in some
cases, in a tunnel, garage or underpass, your
call may be cut off and you may not be able to
make even emergency calls. WARNING
If a mobile telephone is not secured or is in-
correctly secured in the vehicle, it could move
around the passenger compartment in the
event of a sudden driving manoeuvre or emer-
gency stop, resulting in injury. ●
While the vehicle is in motion, always se-
cure the mobile telephone properly outside
the airbag deployment zone. WARNING
Mobile telephones may interfere with and al-
ter the correct operation of pacemakers if
they are carried directly over them.
● Maintain a minimum distance of at least
20 centimetres between the aerials of the
mobile telephone and the pacemaker, as mo-
bile phones may affect the functioning of
pacemakers.
● Do not carry your switched on mobile tele-
phone in your breast pocket directly over the
pacemaker.
● If you suspect interference, switch off the
mobile telephone immediately. WARNING
If the centre armrest is open, it may obstruct
the driver's arm movements, which could
cause an accident and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion. CAUTION
High speeds, poor weather or road conditions
and the quality of reception can all affect the
quality of a telephone conversation in the ve-
hicle. 56

Note
● Restrictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities.
● If you wish to connect a device to the tele-
phone management system via Bluetooth ®
technology, consult the safety warnings in its
instruction manual. Only use compatible
Bluetooth ®
devices. Areas where special regulations apply
Switch off the mobile telephone and the mo-
bile telephone provision in places with a risk
of explosion. In the majority of cases, these
places are signposted, but not always clearly
››› in General information on page 56. They
include, for example:
● the vicinity of chemical pipelines and tanks
● The lower decks of boats and ferries.
● In the proximity of vehicles that run on liq-
uid gas (such as propane or butane).
● places where the air is laden with chemi-
cals or particles such as flour, dust or metal
powder.
● all other places where the vehicle engine
must be switched off WARNING
Switch off the mobile phone in areas with a
risk of explosion! The mobile telephone can
automatically connect to the mobile tele-
phone network again if it loses the Blue-
tooth ®
connection to the telephone manage-
ment system. CAUTION
In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mobile telephones is prohibited,
both the telephone and the telephone man-
agement system must be switched off. The
radiation produced by the mobile telephone
when switched on may interfere with sensi-
tive technical and medical equipment, possi-
bly resulting in a malfunction or damage to
the equipment. Bluetooth
® Bluetooth
®
Bluetooth ®
technology allows a mobile tele-
phone to be connected to your vehicle's tele-
phone management system. In order to use
the telephone management system with a
mobile telephone with Bluetooth ®
technolo-
gy, it is first necessary to pair them.
Some Bluetooth ®
mobile telephones detect
and automatically connect when turning on
the ignition if a connection has been previ-
ously established. For this to take place the telephone must be switched on and its Blue-
tooth
®
function activated, and there must be
no active Bluetooth ®
connection with other
devices.
Bluetooth ®
connections are free.

Bluetooth profiles ®
When a mobile telephone is connected to the
telephone management system, a data ex-
change takes place via one of the Bluetooth ®
profiles.
● Hands-free Bluetooth profile (HFP) : If a mo-
b i
le telephone is connected to the telephone
manager through the HFP, calls can be made
wirelessly through the hands-free device.
This function also requires other Bluetooth
profiles such as the phonebook download
and instant messaging.
● Advanced audio profile (A2DP): Bluetooth
profile for transmitting audio signals with
stereo quality. This function can also connect
other additional Bluetooth profiles for view-
ing tracks and for controlling playback on the
mobile device.

Note
SEAT applications are designed to communi-
cate with the vehicle and interact with it via
the MirrorLink ®
connection, therefore its
functionality is linked to the mobile device
being connected via USB-MirrorLink ®
. Other
Apps certified by the consortium or third par-
ties may have access to this communication
w ith the
System via WLAN without Mirror-
Link ®
. MirrorLink™
Introduction MirrorLink™ is a protocol which enables the
communication between a portable device
and the Infotainment system via USB.
Using it makes it possible to display and
manage the content and functions displayed
on the portable device on the Infotainment
system screen.
To avoid distracting the driver while driving,
only specially adapted applications can be
used
››› .
WARNING
If a mobile terminal is not secured or is incor-
rectly secured in the vehicle, it could move
around the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving manoeuvre, emer-
gency stop or accident, resulting in injury.
●
While driving, mobile terminals must be se-
curely fastened in position, outside the air-
bag deployment zones, or safely stowed
away. WARNING
Any applications that are not suitable or exe-
cute incorrectly may cause damage to the ve-
hicle, accidents and serious injuries.
● SEAT recommends the use of the Apps that
SEAT provides for this vehicle.
● For the full use of SEAT Apps, it is necessa-
ry to activate the “Mobile device data trans-
fer” option in Setup ››› page 70.
● Protect the mobile terminal with its appli-
cations from improper use.
● Never make modifications to the applica-
tions.
● Consult the instruction manual for the mo-
bile terminal. WARNING
The use of applications while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic. Distract-
ing the driver in any way can lead to an acci-
dent and cause injuries.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. CAUTION
● In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mobile terminals is forbidden, the
mobile terminal must be switched off at all
times. The radiation produced by the mobile
terminal when switched on may interfere with
sensitive technical and medical equipment,
possibly resulting in malfunction or damage
to the equipment.
● SEAT cannot be held liable for any damage
caused to the vehicle as a result of the use of
applications that are of poor quality or are
defective, the inadequate programming of
the applications, the insufficient coverage of
the network, the loss of data during trans-
mission or the improper use of mobile termi-
nals. Note
● The use of MirrorLink™ technology may re-
sult in high consumption of your 3G/4G data
plan.
● SEAT recommends the using the device
with a high battery charge when connected to
MirrorLink™. Requirements
In order to use MirrorLink™, the following re-
quirements must be met:
● The mobile device must be compatible with
MirrorLink™. »
