Voice control Fig. 33
Multifunction steering wheel: voice
control. The time during which the system is ready to
receive voice commands and execute them is
called dialogue. The system provides acous-
tic warnings and if necessary, will guide you
through the respective functions.
It is recommended to use the
Help menu the
first time that voice control is used in order to
familiarize yourself with this function.
Optimum operation of the voice commands
depends on several factors:
● Speak slowly and clearly, as far as possi-
ble. The system will not recognise words pro-
nounced unclearly, or words and numbers in
which syllables are omitted. ●
Speak with normal voice volume, without
exaggerated intonation or long pauses.
● Close the doors, windows and sunroof for
the purpose of dampening or insulating
against unwanted noise from the exterior. Do
not aim the air from the diffusers at the roof.
● If you are driving very fast, it is recommen-
ded that you speak a little louder.
● While talking, avoid making other noise in-
side the vehicle, i.e., occupants that are talk-
ing at the same time.
● Do not speak when the system is providing
information. »

Operation
The microphone for the voice control is loca-
ted in the headliner and is pointing at the
driver and the front passenger. Therefore, the
driver and the front passenger are the only
persons who can operate the device.
Enter the telephone number
The telephone number can be entered as a
straight row of memorized numbers in se-
quence (the whole number at once) or in
blocks (separated by brief pauses). After
each series of digits (separated by a brief
pause) the system repeats the digits that
have been recognised.
Digits 0 - -9 and symbols +, , #
are allowed.
The sy
stem does not recognise coherent
number combinations such as twenty-three.

Remote control General notes The remote control key can
● Lock and unlock the vehicle
● Unlock or open the rear lid
The remote control transmitter and the bat-
teries are integrated in the key. The receiver
is inside the vehicle. The remote control key
has a maximum range of 30 metres. The
range is reduced as the batteries start to lose
power.
The key includes a foldaway part that can be
used to manually lock or unlock the vehicle
and to start the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or the receiver is re-
paired or changed, the remote control key
must be adapted by an authorised SEAT deal-
er. Only then can the remote control key be
used again. Note
● The remote control is automatically deacti-
vated when the ignition is switched on.

● If the central locking system or the anti-
theft alarm only responds to the remote con-
trol at a distance of less than 3 metres, then
the battery must be replaced ››› page 53.

The turn signals will flash twice when the ve-
hicle is unlocked. If the vehicle is unlocked
using button 1 and none of the doors or the
rear lid is opened in the following 30 sec-
onds, the vehicle will automatically relock
and the Safe lock or the anti-theft alarm will
be activated. This function prevents the vehi-
cle from being unlocked by mistake.
Locking indication
The turn signals will flash if the vehicle has
been correctly locked.
Should any of the doors or the rear lid remain
open when the vehicle is locked, the turn sig-
nals will only flash when they are closed. WARNING
Do not leave people or animals in vehicles
locked from outside with the Safe lock activa-
ted: the doors and windows cannot then be
opened from the inside. Doors locked in this
manner could delay assistance in an emer-
gency. Risk of death! Note
● Only use the remote control when the
doors and the rear lid are locked and the ve-
hicle is within sight.
● Do not press the lock button on the re-
mote control before inserting the key in the
ignition, otherwise the vehicle could be
locked by mistake. Should this occur, press
the unlock button on the remote control.

f the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
using the remote control, the key code may
not match that of the control unit. This can
occur when the remote control buttons are
frequently pressed outside the range of the
system or if the remote control battery has
been replaced.
In this case, it must be synchronised as fol-
lows:
● Press any key on the remote control key.

to remain in the vehicle. Children might start
the engine or some other electrical compo-
nent, e.g. electric windows. Risk of injury!
● Wait until the vehicle has completely stop-
ped before taking the key out of the ignition.
Otherwise the steering wheel may lock sud-
denly. Risk of accident! CAUTION
● Each key contains electronic components
and must, therefore, be protected from damp-
ness and strong vibrations.
● Keep the grooves in the key shaft clean.
Any dirt (fibre from clothing, dust, etc.) has a
negative impact on locks, ignition, etc. Note
Should a key be lost, request a duplicate key
from an Authorised SEAT dealer. Replacing the battery in the remote
