The external aerial directs the electromagnetic fields to the exterior, 
which reduces the field strength in the vehicle interior.
− If retrofitting an external aerial, please ensure that it is installed 
correctly.
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth technology enables  a wireless connection between 
a mobile phone and the on-board phone system.The mobile phone 
3) must be bonded once to the mobile phone 
interface in the vehicle. This procedure involves various steps, 
depending on the mobile phone you are using. After switching the 
ignition on (and with the vehicle at a standstill), your mobile phone 
can be connected to the mobile phone interface.
– Make sure that no other mobile phone is connected to the mobile  phone interface via Bluetooth.
– Switch the ignition on.
– Select the appropriate menu option on your mobile phone to  search for Bluetooth compatible devices (i.e. the mobile phone 
interface).
– Connect the mobile phone to the mobile phone interface. Your  mobile phone interface will use the name “SEAT XXXX” when it 
connects with the mobile phone.
– Enter the PIN for handsfree mode (“1234”) on the mobile phone  interface within 30 seconds.
4)
– Wait until your mobile phone indicates that it has bonded.Up to four mobile phones
You can bond up to four mobile phones to the mobile phone interface. 
However, it is only possible to activate  one connection at a time. If you bond 
a fifth mobile phone to the mobile phone interface, the system will delete the 
device which has not been used for the  longest time in conjunction with the 
mobile phone interface.
Connecting and disconnecting
A mobile phone which has been bonded  to the mobile phone interface and is 
ready to operate will be connected automatically when you switch on the igni-
tion. On some mobile phones, yo u have to confirm the connection.
The Bluetooth connection is  terminated when the key is removed from the 
ignition lock. With most mobile phones  the Bluetooth connection will also be 
terminated when you insert the mobile phone in the adapter.
Autonomy
The Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the mobile phone 
interface is restricted to the interior of the vehicle. The connection can be 
susceptible to interference caused by  other electronic devices or obstacles 
between the devices. For example, the mobile phone interface may have diffi-
culty detecting your mobile phone or communicating with it if you keep it in 
your jacket pocket.
3)Please make sure that the mobile phone supports the handsfree profile.
4)To prevent unauthorised use of your mobile phone, we recommend that you have the
Bluetooth PIN changed by a Technical Service or specialist garage.

Phone book
The phone book entries on your SIM card and your mobile 
phone directory are automatically stored in the mobile phone 
interface.Loading the phone book entries
Provided your mobile phone supports this function, the phone book entries 
will be automatically scanned into the  memory of the mobile phone interface 
after you have switched on the ignition and inserted the mobile phone in the 
adapter. It may take several minutes to load the entries, depending on how 
many entries are stored on the mobile phone. The message  Please wait... will 
appear on the instrument panel display during this process.
The last four phone books loaded into the mobile phone interface remain 
stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the mobile phone inter-
face, the phone book from the mobile phone which has not been used for the 
longest time is deleted from the mobi le phone interface. Up to 500 phone 
book entries per phone book ca n be stored in the memory.
Using the mobile phone again later
If the SIM card is identical, the phone book entries are already stored in the 
mobile phone interface. You can use  the phone book almost immediately.
The system automatically searches for changes or new entries and stores 
them automatically. This process can take several minutes. If your vehicle is 
equipped with the speech control system* ⇒ page 31, you cannot record any 
spoken names in the phone book for the speech control system while phone 
book entries are being loaded from the mobile phone.
Speech control systemIntroduction
You can use speech commands to operate various functions 
of the telephone.Functions
When used in combination with the hands-free system, you can make calls 
without touching your mobile phone.  The speech control system recognises 
commands and digits spoken by different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:•
Create an acoustic phone book for the speech control system  ⇒page 32
•
Enter and dial a telephone number  ⇒page 35
Traffic reports are not announced duri ng a running dialogue. The dialogue 
will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is received. To 
answer the call, press the left thumbwheel on the multi-function steering 
wheel* or the talk button   on the mobile phone adapter.
Unclear speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with an acoustic signal. If the 
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with  Pardon? 
and request you to repeat the command. After a third failed attempt the 
system will answer with  Cancel and the dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you
•
Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving fast.
•
Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.
•
Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•
Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background noise. Make 
sure that passengers are not talking when you say a command.

microphone is directed towards the driver.
WARNING
•
Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver, 
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use 
the functions in a manner that allows  you to maintain control of the vehicle 
in all situations.
•
The speech control system must not be used in cases of emergency, 
since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed 
or delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers 
manually.
Phone book for the speech control system
Name tags are stored in the phone book for the speech 
control system.General notes
The phone book for the speech control system has 50 memory positions. You 
can use it independently of the mobile phone. The name tags are stored in 
the phone book for the speech control system.
Functions

Entering data
You should choose spoken names that can be identified clearly by the speech 
control system.
Numbers from  ZERO to NINE  are recognised when you enter a telephone 
number. The telephone number can be specified all at once, in blocks of 
digits (separated by a brief pause), or as single digits. After each block of 
digits you specify (separated by a brief pause) the system will repeat the 
digits. The system does not recogni se number combinations (e.g. "twenty-
three") but separate figures ( TWO, THREE ). Say the numbers clearly so that 
the system can recognise them easily.
If you indicate a number of more than tw enty figures, the system will respond: 
The number is too long. A Plus (+)  can also be placed ahead of the number.
If the system does not recognise a phone book entry, you can play back the 
name tags (voice entries) on the speech control system by saying the 
command  PLAY PHONE BOOK  ⇒ page 38. Press the talk button as a name is 
being read to select the entry.
