4Communications systemIntroductionThis system allows you to connect your mobile phone to the 
vehicle and to use the hands-free mode.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 be distracted from traffic.
Available functions include making calls in hands-free mode, access to the 
mobile phone address book and control of the voice recognition system.
The mobile phone communication system is activated when the ignition is 
switched on. It switches off when the key is removed from the ignition.
Before using the communication system, the mobile phone should be 
connected to the vehicle installation via Bluetooth ⇒ page 6.
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 when the traffic situation allows so and in a manner that allows 
you to maintain control of the vehicle. Otherwise, you run the risk of 
causing an accident.•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!•Always observe applicable legislation.•Adjust the volume so that external warning sounds (e.g. emergency 
vehicles) are always audible.
Note
•The voice control system is only available in the following languages: 
Spanish, German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and 
Dutch. For other languages, the predefined language for the voice control 
instructions is English. Please take the vehicle to a Technical Service if you 
wish to change the language.•There are certain versions of mobile phone software that contain errors. 
These errors may give rise to faulty operation of the vehicle hands-free 
system. In this case, update the software for your mobile phone or consult 
your mobile phone technical service.•Some mobile devices do not respond correctly to the orders of the keypad 
in hands-free mode. Always use the vehicle controls to interact with the 
mobile phone.•With some models of phone, some functions may not be available with 
the SEAT mobile phone system. If you have any queries, please refer to the 
information regarding the compatibility of your mobile phone with the SEAT 
telephone system.

system before using it for the first time.When connecting a mobile phone for the first time, you will be asked to create 
a user profile. A user profile is necessary for you to connect the mobile phone 
to the SEAT system. Once the user profile has been created, your telephone 
can be connected automatically or manually  ⇒page 7, “Linking a connected 
mobile phone to the SEAT telephone system”. It is not necessary to repeat the 
initial connection process each time. The phone will be connected automati-
cally as long as the corresponding user profile has not been deleted using the 
telephone menu or the Factory settings  function.
A maximum of four user profiles can be created. If you try to create a fifth 
profile, the profile which has been inactive for the most time will automati-
cally be deleted.
The connection process may take several minutes.

first time is described below. The procedure can be started from the vehicle 
system using the  Te l e p h o n e menu on the instrument panel or from the mobile 
phone. Both methods are described below  ⇒page 6 and ⇒ page 7.
