Introduction Safety instructions relating to the
Infotainment system WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries. Operating the
Infotainment system can distract your atten-
tion from the traffic.
● 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).
● Hearing may be impaired if using too high a
volume setting, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you switch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Lower the base volume before connecting
or switching audio sources. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
cations shown on the navigation system may
differ from the current traffic situation. ●
Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority over the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your vehicle speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium while driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not obstruct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly secured could move around the passenger
compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never place or fit external devices to the
doors, windscreen, steering wheel, dash pan-
el, the backs of the seats, on top of or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” or between these
areas and the occupants. External devices
can cause serious injury in an accident, espe-
cially when the airbags inflate. WARNING
The armrest 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. WARNING
Opening a CD or DVD player's housing can
lead to injuries from invisible laser radiation.
● Have CD or DVD players repaired only by a
qualified workshop. CAUTION
The Infotainment system can be damaged by
the incorrect insertion of a data storage de-
vice or the insertion of an incompatible data
storage device.
● When inserting a data storage device, make
sure it is correctly positioned ››› page 23.
● Applying force may irreparably damage the
memory card slot locking mechanism.
● Only use compatible memory cards.
● When inserting and removing CDs and
DVDs, always hold them at right angles to the
front of the CD/DVD drive without tilting so as
not to scratch them.
● If a CD or DVD is inserted while another is
already in the unit or being ejected, the DVD
drive may be irreparably damaged. Always
wait until the data medium is completely
ejected. » 3

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
