Introduction to the Bluetooth system
Introduction to the Bluetooth system
General information
This system allows you to connect your mobile phone via
Bluetooth connection and to use the hands-free mode, as
well as connecting a multimedia player. The hands-free device means that the telephone can be used inside the ve-
hicle; 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
phone book, access to the call list, music playback via streaming audio and
control of the voice recognition system.
The Bluetooth system is activated when the ignition is turned on and it is
deactivated when the key is removed from the ignition.
Before using the Bluetooth system, the mobile phone has to be paired with
the vehicle installation via Bluetooth ⇒ page 5.
WARNING
● Please concentrate on driving. As the driver, you have the responsibil-
ity 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 de-
layed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!
WARNING (Continued)
● 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, Mexican Spanish, German, English, French, Canadian French, Ital-
ian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch. For other languages, the prede-
fined language for the voice control instructions is English. Please take the
vehicle to a Technical Service if you wish to change the language. 

Compatibility with mobile phones
New models of mobile phones are being released constantly by the differ-
ent brands, with different operating systems and different ways of operat-
ing. For this reason there are some mobile phones that do not perform
some of the functions correctly or are even totally incompatible. At SEAT we
would like to help you choose a mobile phone, so we have published the
results of compatibility tests performed for different mobile phones. Visit
the SEAT website or ask at your dealer.
Depending on your mobile phone model, certain functions may not be avail-
able or it may be necessary to change the configuration. Familiarise yourself
with your phone and read the instruction manual to learn the possibilities it
offers.
Even when the mobile phone appears as compatible in our list, we have no-
ticed that occasionally it is possible that the phone presents an abnormal
behaviour with the system due to software errors. In this case we recom-
mend updating your mobile phone's software. Mobile phone manufacturers
usually have updates available on their websites, which can improve the
operation of your phone. Bluetooth system components

Operation
Operation via voice control
Introduction
The voice control system can be activated with the “Push to
talk” or “PTT” button . Thanks to the voice control you can use many telephone functions without
having to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
Dialogue is the time during which the voice control system transmits mes-
sages and can receive spoken orders (commands).
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted.
You can use the HELP in any part of the menu. If you have any doubts or
cannot decide the Command to use, the system will provide you with the
available options.
You can CANCEL in any part of the menu. 
Basic functions available with the voice controls
Volume adjustment
You can change the sound volume at any time with the radio button or with
the buttons on the multi-function control.
Voice control connection (Dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button 
on the multi-function control.
If the system does not recognise your command, there is a first help option
which allows a new input. After a second failed try the system repeats the second part of the help. After a third failed try, the answer “Process inter-
rupted” is displayed and the dialogue ends.
Disconnection of the voice control (Dialogue)
You can end the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button

on the multi-function control. If the system is waiting for a command, you
can end the dialogue with the “CANCEL” command.
Interruption of the current message
By pressing the PTT button  during the message, only the current mes-
sage is ended and it is possible to give another command. 
Correct use of the voice control
Note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
● Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.
● Avoid poor articulation of words.
● Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.
● Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the
interior light).
● At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out back-
ground noises.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passen-
gers speaking in the vehicle).
● Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
● The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, on-
ly the driver should try to operate the system.
● To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend us-
ing the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers. 

Operation
Additional information
Voice control is available in different languages: Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English, US English, French, Canadian
French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch.
The user can change the language in the instrument panel using the multi-
function steering wheel ⇒ booklet Instruction manual.
The languages available in each vehicle depend on the destination of the

Dialogue options
The voice control has the short dialogue and long dialogue options. The de-
fault setting is the long dialogue. The short dialogue is recommended when
you are familiar with the orders and the structure of the voice control menu.
The long dialogue offers more tips and information about the voice control
procedure. It can be changed via voice control ⇒ page 10. Instrument panel display
