an be u

sed through the Infotainment system
if there is a mobile telephone connected to it
via Bluetooth ®
››› page 28.
In order for 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 operating issues between
your mobile telephone and the Infotainment system, restart your mobile by switching it off
and on ag
ain.
Y

ou 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-
b i

le 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
ea
sily 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
ca
ses, 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-
c orr

ectly 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. ●
Whi l

e 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-
t er the c

orrect operation of pacemakers if
they are carried directly over them.
● Maintain a minimum distance of at least
20 centimetr
es 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 y
our breast pocket directly over the
pacemaker.
● If you suspect interference, switch off the
mob
ile telephone immediately. CAUTION
High speeds, poor weather or road conditions
and the qua lity

of reception can all affect the
quality of a telephone conversation in the ve-
hicle. Note
● Re

strictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities. 26

Telephone management system (PHONE)*
Pair and connect a mobile telephone
t o the Inf
otainment systemIn order to manage a mobile telephone via
the Inf
ot

ainment system, it is necessary to
pair both devices once.
For your safety, we recommend you make the
link when the vehicle is stationary. In some
countries it is not possible to perform the
pairing with the vehicle running.
Conditions
You must guarantee the following setup in
the mobile phone and the Infotainment sys-
tem:
● The ignition must be switched on.
● The Bluet ooth®
f
unction of the mobile tele-
phone and the Infotainment system must be
active as well as visibility.
● The keypad lock on the mobile telephone
mu
st be deactivated.
Follow instructions in the manual for the mo-
bile telephone.
After turning on the ignition, the visibility of
the Bluetooth ®
function activates.
During the pairing process it is necessary to
enter data via the mobile telephone's key-
pad. To do so, the mobile telephone must be
ready. Starting mobile telephone pairing

The search process can take up to 1 minute.
On the screen the system will dynamically update the names of the Bluetooth devices
fou

nd.
As soon as the search is completed, the
names of the Bluetooth ®
devices found are
displayed on-screen.
● In the Infotainment system select the mo-
bi
le telephone to which you want to connect
from the list of Bluetooth devices found. In
certain circumstances, it is possible that to
finish the connection between the two devi-
ces, you must enter additional data in the
mobile telephone and Infotainment system.
● If necessary, confirm the link to the mobile
tel
ephone.
● Use your mobile telephone to enter and
confirm
your PIN code, as indicated in the
display of the infotainment system.
OR:
● Compare the PIN code shown on the dis-
pl

ay of the Infotainment system with that
shown on the mobile telephone. If they
match, confirm on both devices.
The infotainment system and the mobile tele-
phone will now be connected to each other.
When the pairing has been finalized correct-
ly, the PHONE main menu will appear. The
phonebook and call lists stored in the mobile
phone will be loaded once the requests have
been accepted in the mobile phone. The du-
ration of the loading process depends on the
28

Telephone management system (PHONE)*
amount of data stored on the mobile tele-
phone. Af t
er loading, the data will be availa-
ble on the Infotainment system.
Pairing and connection of mobile telephones
You can pair up to 20 mobile telephones to
the Infotainment system, but only one mobile
telephone can be connected as hands-free,
and this or another device as a Bluetooth au-
dio profile.
When the Infotainment system is switched
on, it automatically connects to the last con-
nected mobile telephone. If it is not possible
to connect to this mobile telephone, the tele-
phone management system will try to auto-
matically connect to the next mobile tele-
phone on the list of paired devices.
The maximum range of the Bluetooth ®
con-
nection is approx. 10 metres. The active
Bluetooth ®
connection disconnects if this
distance is exceeded. The connection is auto-
matically re-established as soon as the de-
vice is once again within Bluetooth ®
range.
If the maximum number of paired devices is
reached and you wish to pair another one to
the system, it will automatically replace the
one least used recently. If you wish to replace
it with another one, the user must erase it be-
forehand. To do so:
● Press the Setup button on the device while
in tel
ephone mode. ●
Pre
ss the Bluetooth function button.
● Activate the P
air
ed devices function button.
● In the list of paired devices, press the  function button next to the mobile telephone
t
o be del

eted and then press Delete to con-
firm the process. Note
● It m

ay be necessary to confirm the phone-
book data transfer request on the mobile tel-
ephone.
● Check that there are no requests pending
acc
eptance in your mobile phone. If there are,
this could block some of the functions in the
PHONE menu. Description of the telephone
