General information This system allows you to connect your mo-
bile phone via Bluetooth connection and to
use the hands-free mode.
The hands-free device means that the tele-
phone 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, access to the call list
and control of the voice recognition system.
Before using the Bluetooth system, the mo-
bile phone should be connected to the vehi-
cle installation via Bluetooth
›››
page 74. Switching on/off
The Bluetooth system is activated when the
ignition is turned on and it is deactivated
when the key is removed from the ignition.
With the system activated, if the button
››› Fig. 80 
(“PTT”) is pressed the voice con-
trol activates, and if there is no telephone
connected, Bluetooth visibility is turned on
and a search for a telephone begins.
If there is a call in process when the system
is deactivated, the active call is not cancel-
led, but transferred to the mobile phone.
Bluetooth
Use compatible Bluetooth devices only. For
more information about compatible Blue-
tooth products, consult your dealership or
the SEAT website. 1)
If a telephone is already connected via Bluetooth
to the PND
72

Operation
choosing a mobile phone, SEAT offers the re-
sults of the compatibility tests on different
mobile phones. Visit the SEAT website or ask
at your dealer.
Depending on your mobile phone model, cer-
tain functions may not be available or it may
be necessary to change the configuration. Fa-
miliarise yourself with your phone and read
the instruction manual to learn the possibili-
ties it offers.
Even when the mobile phone appears as
compatible in our list, we have noticed that
occasionally it is possible that the phone
presents an abnormal behaviour with the
system due to software errors. In this case,
we recommend you update the telephone
software. Mobile phone manufacturers usual-
ly make updates available on Internet for
their customers in order to improve the work-
ing of the phone.
In the event that you have various applica-
tions to make calls, such as internet calling,
the mobile will ask you from which applica-
tion you wish to make the call. Until confir-
mation is given you will not be able to make
the call.
If you try to make a call and it is not pro-
cessed, check your mobile phone as it is pos-
sible that a pop-up window on your tele-
phone is requesting you to select the pro-
gram with which to make the call. Bluetooth system components

BRadio ››› Booklet Radio User profile
Each telephone must be paired to the Blue-
tooth system before using it for the first time.
When pairing a mobile phone for the first
time, you will be asked to create a user pro-
file. A user profile is necessary for you to con-
nect the mobile phone to the SEAT Bluetoothsystem. Once the user profile has been cre-
ated, your telephone can be connected auto-
matically or manually . It is not necessary to
repeat the initial connection process each
time.
A maximum of four user profiles can be cre-
ated. If you try to create a fifth profile, the
profile which has been inactive for the most
time will automatically be deleted.
The pairing process can take several minutes
depending on the size of the phone book.
The procedure for pairing your mobile phone
to the SEAT system for the first time is descri-
bed below.
Pairing the mobile phone Follow the steps below to connect the mobile
phone to the vehicle's Bluetooth by search-
ing for devices from the mobile phone:
●
Activate the Bluetooth in the mobile phone.
● Turn on the ignition with the key. The vehi-
cle system will be visible to the mobile phone
via Bluetooth for 3 minutes. If 3 minutes have
passed you can also switch on Bluetooth visi-
bility again for 3 minutes more by pressing
the button  (“PTT”) ›››
Fig. 80 .
● Se ar

ch for Bluetooth devices using the mo-
bile phone. Refer to the mobile phone man-
ual for instructions.

Communications and multimedia
● A list of devices found is displayed on the
mobile phone. From this list, select the de-
vice SEAT_BT
.
● Ne
xt, accept the connection instructions on
the mobile phone.
● When requested, follow the steps to con-
firm/enter the PIN. If the mobile requests a
PIN to be entered this is 1234, which is the
factory setting and can only be changed at
the workshop. Depending on the technology
supported by your mobile the process can
vary given that some mobiles only request
confirmation of a request to link to SEAT_BT,
while others require the PIN 1234 to be en-
tered.
● The contacts from the mobile phone's
memory and/or SIM card are transferred to
the vehicle system 1)
. Some mobile phones
may display a message asking for confirma-
tion of access to the phone book or other op-
tions, these messages should be accepted in
order for the hands free system to access the
information contained on the mobile and in
order to carry out the complete functions of
the system.
● The pairing is complete.
Automatic pairing
When the telephone has been connected and
the corresponding user profile created, your telephone will automatically link up with the
SEAT telephone system under the following
conditions:
●
The mobile phone is switched on with the
Bluetooth function activated and the visibility
activated. The mobile phone must be close to
the vehicle.
● The vehicle system has switched on Blue-
tooth visibility (it will be on for 3 minutes fol-
lowing activation of the contact or after
pressing the button  “PTT”).
● The aut

omatic connection was accepted
during the questions of the first connection.
● The connection to the system has not been
deleted in the mobile.
With the ignition switched on, the system
searches in the memorised Bluetooth devices
(user profiles), and if one of these devices is
found a connection attempt is made to con-
nect to the last linked profile that meets the
previously mentioned requirements. The sys-
tem will continue connection attempts while
there is no connected device.
When a Bluetooth device is connected or
when the automatic connection conditions
are met, in order to connect another Blue-
tooth device, an existing connection or one
that is in the process being connected must
be deactivated in advance. In order to do this, deactivate the Bluetooth on the unwan-
ted device. Note
● The visibility of the vehicle's Bluetooth sys-
tem is switched on for three minutes when
the ignition is switched on with the key. After
3 minutes, if you need to activate the visibili-
ty again, you can do so with the voice control
››› page 76 or turning the ignition off and on
ag ain.
● If

for any reason you take more than 3 mi-
nutes to perform these steps or more than 30
seconds to enter the PIN, you will have to
start the process over again. Controls on the multifunction control
