Reading the vehicle fault memory
There is a diagnostics connector in the vehi-
cle interior for reading the vehicle fault mem-
ory. The fault memory documents errors and
deviations from the theoretical values of the
electronic control units.
The diagnostics connector is in the driver
side footwell area, next to the lever for open-
ing the bonnet, below a cover.
The fault memory should only be read and re-
set by a specialised workshop.
Using a mobile telephone in a vehicle
without c
onnection to an exterior aer-
ial Mobile telephones transmit and receive radio
w
av
e
s also called high-frequency energy,
both when in use and when on stand-by. Sci-
entific studies state that radio waves exceed-
ing certain values may be harmful to the hu- man body. International committees and au-
thorities h
ave established limits and direc-
tives in order to ensure electromagnetic radi-
ation from mobile phones remains within cer-
tain limits that do not endanger health. Nev-
ertheless, there is no conclusive scientific
evidence that wireless telephones are totally
safe.
That is why some experts recommend moder-
ate use of the mobile telephone, and the ap-
pliance of measures to reduce radiation on
the human body.
When a mobile phone not connected to an
exterior aerial is used inside the vehicle, the
electromagnetic radiation may be greater
than if the mobile phone were connected to a
built-in aerial or to another exterior aerial.
If the vehicle is fitted with a suitable hands-
free device that allows the employment of
numerous additional mobile telephone func-
tions with compatible Bluetooth technolo-
gy ®
, it will comply with the legislation in
many countries which only permits the use of
mobile phones inside vehicles using a
hands-free device.
The hands-free system of the Portable Navi-
gation System (supplied by SEAT) has been
designed for use with conventional mobile
phones and phones with Bluetooth technolo-
gy ®
››› page 164. Mobile telephones must be
placed in a suitable telephone support or
stored safely in the vehicle. If a support is used for the telephone, it must be securely
fas
tened to the base plate. The mobile will be
secure on the instrument panel and always
within reach of the driver only by following
these procedures. Mobile telephone connec-
tion with an external aerial is carried out sub-
ject to the hands-free device, via the tele-
phone support or by the Bluetooth ®
connec-
tions present in the mobile telephone and
the vehicle.
If the mobile phone is connected to an aerial
incorporated into the vehicle or an exterior
aerial connected to the vehicle, it will help re-
duce the electromagnetic radiation transmit-
ted and the risk to human health. It will also
improve the quality of the connection.
If the phone is used inside the vehicle with-
out the hands-free system, it will not be se-
curely fastened and will not be connected to
the exterior aerial of the vehicle telephone.
Nor will the telephone charge if it is not on
the support. In addition, some calls may
break off and the quality of the connection
will be affected.
Mobile telephones should only be used in-
side the vehicle if they are connected to a
hands-free system. SEAT recommends using
an external aerial should you wish to use a
mobile telephone inside the vehicle.

WARNING
If the mobile phone is not securely fastened
in pos ition, it
could be sent flying around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking, sudden
manoeuvres or accident, causing injury.
● While driving, the mobile telephone, other
equipment includin
g telephone accessories
such as telephone supports, notepads and
navigators must be correctly secured, away
from the airbags deployment zones, or stored
in a safe place. WARNING
When using a mobile telephone or two-way
ra dio w
ithout connecting an external aerial,
the maximum permitted levels of electromag-
netic radiation in the vehicle may be excee-
ded, thus putting the driver and the rest of
the vehicle occupants in danger. This is also
the case if the aerial has not been correctly
installed.
● A minimum of 20 centimetres should be
kept betw
een mobile phone aerials and artifi-
cial pacemakers, as mobile telephones may
affect the working of pacemakers.
● Do not keep mobile phones in breast pock-
ets dir
ectly above pacemakers.
● Immediately switch off the mobile tele-
phone if y
ou suspect any interference with
pacemakers or other types of medical equip-
ment. SEAT Portable System*
