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: 

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. 

Media player
Playback of music stored in the mobile phone through the “Bluetooth Au-
dio” wireless communication interface is only possible with some factory-in- stalled radios. The mobile phone must be paired with the communication
system.
Media mode indications on ⇒ page 21.
In order to use a mobile phone as a media player, the mobile phone must
be compatible with the “Advanced Audio Distribution Profile” (A2DP) Blue-
tooth profile. The A2DP profile allows the wireless transmission of a high-
quality stereophonic sound signal. Consult your mobile phone manufactur-
er.
Operation of the media played must be carried out using the speech control
system ⇒ page 43 1)
. The mobile phone must be compatible with the “Audio
Video Remote Control Profile” (AVRCP) Bluetooth profile. In some mobile
phones the media player will have to be started in the mobile phone before
you can use it via voice control.

Holding telephone conversations during music playback via the “Bluetooth
Audio” function
While playing music with the “Bluetooth Audio” function, the telephone
functions are still available. Music is paused during telephone conversa-
tions.
Note
● If the mobile phone and the communication system are connected via
Bluetooth, when another user is connected, they will be disconnected and
the music currently playing on the mobile phone will stop. There can only be
one device connected to the communication system at a time.
● With some mobile phones the volume can be adjusted directly on the
phone. SEAT recommends setting the maximum volume on the mobile
phone and making necessary adjustments on the radio during playback.
● Always switch off the warning and service tones on a connected Blue-
tooth audio source, e.g. key tones on a mobile telephone, to prevent inter-
ference noise and malfunctions. 
