Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a data medium unusable. Please observe the
manufact

urer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
anomalies during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion can be found on the internet regarding
the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to
use (copy and delete processes), the folder
structure and file type, the read time of the
data media used can vary considerably.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
on the data medium at the locations referred
to by the playlist (relative file paths). Note
● Do not u se a

daptors for memory cards.
● We will not accept any responsibility for
file
s damaged or lost on the data medium. 18

General information The Telephone functions described below
can be u
sed thr

ough the Infotainment system
if there is a mobile telephone connected to it
via Bluetooth ®
››› page 27.
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 again.
Y ou m

ay 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. ●
Whil 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 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. Note
● Re s

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

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 Bluetooth ®
fu
nction of the mobile tele-
phone and the Infotainment system must be
active as well as visibility.
● The keypad lock on the mobile telephone
mus
t 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.

As soon as the search is completed, the
names of the Bluetooth ®

displayed on-screen.
● In the Infotainment system select the mo-
bil
e 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 betw

een the two devi-
ces, you must enter additional data in the
mobile telephone and Infotainment system.
● If necessary, confirm the link to the mobile
telephone.
● U

se your mobile telephone to enter and
confirm y
our PIN code, as indicated in the
display of the infotainment system.
OR:
● Compare the PIN code shown on the dis-
pla
y 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
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 only one mobile
telephone can be connected as hands-free,
28

Telephone management system (PHONE)*
and this or another device as a Bluetooth
audio pr ofi
l
e.
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 telephone mode.
● Pr

ess the Bluetooth function button.
● Activate the P

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

the Infotainment system via the Bluetooth
profiles (for example, one used as a Blue-
tooth-audio player and/or another as a
hands-free telephone). Note
● Us in
