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 chec
k 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 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-
bi l
e 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
eas
ily 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
case
s, 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-
corr 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.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always se-
cure the mo
bile telephone properly outside
the airbag deployment zone. WARNING
Mobile telephones may interfere with and al-
ter the c orr
ect operation of pacemakers if
they are carried directly over them.
● Maintain a minimum distance of at least
20 centimetre
s 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 br
east pocket directly over the
pacemaker.
● If you suspect interference, switch off the
mobi
le telephone immediately. 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. » 53

● Re s
trictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities.
● If you wish to connect a device to the tele-
phone manag
ement system via Bluetooth ®
technology, consult the safety warnings in its
instruction manual. Only use compatible
Bluetooth ®
devices. Areas where special regulations apply
Switch off the mobile telephone and the mo-
b
i
l
e’s Bluetooth ®
function in places with a
risk of explosion. In the majority of cases,
these places are signposted, but not always
clearly ››› in General information on
p ag
e 53
. They include, for example:
● the vicinity of chemical pipelines and tanks
● The lower decks of boats and ferries.
● In the proximity of vehicles that run on liq-
uid gas
(such as propane or butane).
● places where the air is laden with chemi-
cals
or particles such as flour, dust or metal
powder.
● all other places where the vehicle engine
must
be switched off. WARNING
Switch off the mobile phone in areas with a
risk of
explosion! The mobile telephone can
automatically connect to the mobile tele-
phone network again if it loses the Blue-
tooth ®
connection to the telephone manage-
ment system. CAUTION
In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mo
bile telephones is prohibited,
both the telephone and the telephone man-
agement system must be switched off. The
radiation produced by the mobile telephone
when switched on may interfere with sensi-
tive technical and medical equipment, possi-
bly resulting in a malfunction or damage to
the equipment. Bluetooth
® Bluetooth
®
tec
hno
logy allows a mobile tele-
phone to be connected to your vehicle's tele-
phone management system. In order to use
the telephone management system with a
mobile telephone with Bluetooth ®
technolo-
gy, it is first necessary to pair them.
Some Bluetooth ®
mobile telephones detect
and automatically connect when turning on
the ignition if a connection has been previ-
ously established. For this to take place the
telephone must be switched on and its Blue- tooth
®
function activated, and there must be
no active Bluet
ooth®
connection with other
devices.
Bluetooth ®
connections are free.

Bluetooth profiles ®
When a mobile phone is connected to the tel-
ephone management system, a data ex-
change takes place via one of the Bluetooth ®
profiles.
● Bluetooth ®
hands-fr
ee profile (HFP): If a
mobile telephone is connected to the tele-
phone manager through the HFP, calls can be
made wirelessly through the hands-free de-
vice. This function also requires other Blue-
tooth ®
profiles such as the phonebook
download.
● Audio profile (A2DP): Bluetooth ®
profi
le for
transmitting audio with stereo quality. This
function can also connect other additional
Bluetooth profiles for managing and control-
ling playback.
● Message profile (MAP): Bluetooth ®
profi
le
to access mobile device messages. Note
To prevent them from being heard through
the spe ak
ers, the button and mobile tele-
phone alert tones must be disconnected. 54

Telephone management system (PHONE)
The infotainment system and the mobile tele-
phone w i
l
l 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
amount of data stored on the mobile tele-
phone. After 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 there can only
be two mobile phones simultaneously con-
nected as hands-free, and a third device as
BT audio at any time.
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 ®
is ap-
proximate. 10 metres. The active Bluetooth ®
connection disconnects if this distance is ex-
ceeded. The connection is automatically re-
established as soon as the device is once
again within Bluetooth ®
range. If the maximum number of paired devices is
reac
hed 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 telephone mode.
● Pr
ess the function button Bluetooth setting

firm the process. Note
● It m a
y be necessary to confirm the phone-
book data transfer request on the mobile tel-
ephone.
● Check that there are no requests pending
accept
ance in your mobile phone. If there are,
this could block some of the functions in the
PHONE menu. Description of the telephone
