Voice command mobile telephone installation
Introduction
This system allows the connection of a mobile phone and to 
use this hands-free.
The hands-free device means that the telephone can be used inside the 
vehicle; the driver will not have to remove their hands from the steering wheel 
nor will they be distracted.
The transmission of data between the telephone and the hands-free system 
may take place in two different ways: by placing the telephone onto the 
adapter (this option is recommended because the external antenna is used) 
and by Bluetooth wireless connection.
A suitable mobile phone adapter can be obtained from your SEAT official serv-
ices.
WARNING
•The use of an integrated exterior antenna is recommended; this should 
be installed professionally for telecommunications equipment, for 
example, mobile telephones, specifically with the vehicle occupants in 
mind.
•The exterior antenna diverts the electromagnetic fields out of the 
vehicle and reduces the field intensity inside the vehicle in comparison to 
systems without an exterior antenna.
•The use of the exterior antenna will avoid any of the related health risks 
presently under scientific discussion.
•The investigations have concluded that under unfavorable conditions, 
the use of a mobile phone inside the ve hicle without an exterior antenna 
may exceed international health risk limits.
•The use of an exterior antenna may be ineffective for diversion of elec-
tromagnetic fields to the exterior of the vehicle if the installation has not 
been completed correctly.
Note
•Voice instructions can only be given in the following languages: Spanish, 
German, English, French, Italian and Czech. If you want to activate this func-
tion using another language (for example Dutch or Portuguese), you should 
go to an Authorised Service Centre so they can programme your equipment. 
Otherwise, you will only be able to use it in English.
•There are certain versions of mobile telephone software that contain 
errors. These errors may give rise to faulty operation of the vehicle hands-free 
system. In this case, consult the Authorised Service Centre for your mobile 
telephone.

Basic functions
The speech control system can be activated via the “Talk” 
button on the phone adapter or the button on the multi-func-
tion wheel.Talk button
The voice control system may be activated using the buttons “Talk”   on the 
phone adapter  Ÿfig. 1 and on the multi-function steering wheel   Ÿfig. 2  .
If one of these buttons is pressed while using the speech control system, the 
function is cancelled.
After pushing the “Talk”   button, wait some seconds for the sound signal 
after which the vocal commands may be used. These commands may be used 
to manage the functions of the hands-free telephone system as well as the 
phone book.
Phone book
The speech control system offers the option of creating and using an phone 
book belonging to the vehicle system and independent of the mobile tele-
phone. This phone book may contain 50 entries.
Also, in the moment that a connection is made between the telephone and 
the hands-free system (if a compatible adapter or Bluetooth adapter is avail-
able), the numbers stored in the telephone SIM card are downloaded by the 
hands-free system and can be displayed on the vehicle instrument panel. 
These numbers may be selected using the multi-function lever, allowing calls 
to be made by this or by the multi-function wheel.
WARNING
•Please concentrate on driving. As the driver, you have the responsibility 
for your safety and that of others. For this reason, you should only use the 
functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle in 
all situations - otherwise you may create an accident risk!
•The speech 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!

Caution
If the telephone is taken from the adapter during a call then the connection 
between it and the adapter of the hands-free system is interrupted. Similarly, 
the battery charging from the adapter is also interrupted. However, the 
connection between the hands-free system and the telephone will be re-
established after a short moment thanks to the Bluetooth technology (this 
must have been previously configured)
Note
•Keeping the phone in the adapter guarantees a better transmission 
quality and also keeps the battery fully charged at all times.
Fitting the adapter
The mobile phone adapter must be attached to the mounting 
unit installed in the vehicle  designed for this.
– Slide the lock on the mobile phone adapter     Ÿfig. 3  into the 
guide tab of the mounting unit  .
– Push the bottom part of the mobile phone adapter   down to  make it engage.
Note
To avoid system malfunctions, ensure that the adapter unit is properly 
attached.
