General operating information
Introduction
If system settings are modified, some aspects of the unit's operation may
differ from the descriptions given in this manual. For this reason, SEAT rec-
ommends that you reset the unit to its factory settings the first time you use
it ⇒ page 100.
Additional Information:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
● Multifunction steering wheel, to change track or station ⇒ Booklet Own-
er's Manual, chapter Vehicle overview
Note
Lightly pressing the buttons or briefly pressing the touchscreen is sufficient
to operate the unit.
Note
Never press a button down for longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise the sys-
tem will interpret this as a malfunction ( button jammed).
Note
Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected on
the screen when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
Note
Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
speakers.
Note
In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the vol-
ume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse gear
is engaged. If talking on the telephone through the radio and navigation
system, the volume of the conversation is also lowered automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.
Note
Restrictions on the use of devices using Bluetooth technology may be appli-
cable in some countries. Please ask your local authority for further informa-
tion. 
Switching on and off
With the ignition on, press the rotary/push knob 
⇒ fig. 2 1 briefly to
manually switch the unit on or off.
When the unit is switched on, the system starts, and the last selected audio
source is played at the last selected volume, provided this is not greater
than the “start-up volume”.
When the key is removed from the ignition, the radio and navigation unit
automatically switches off. By pressing the rotary/push knob 
⇒ fig. 2 1
,
the radio switches on and switches off automatically after approx. 30 mi-
nutes (switch-off delay), or manually if the rotary/push knob is pressed
again.
Anti-theft code
The anti-theft code is stored in the vehicle once it has been entered (con-
venience radio code). The anti-theft coding lock then only needs to be re-
leased manually if the unit is installed in another vehicle. In such a case, a
keypad field and a prompt to enter the code will appear when the unit is
switched on. In this case, you should contact a SEAT dealer. 

Telephone control (Phone)
Telephone control (Phone) Introduction
Introduction
The telephone functions described below may be controlled using the radio
and navigation system, and by voice control, provided that there is a mobile
phone switched on and with the BT function on. In addition, the mobile
must be connected and paired via Bluetooth to the radio and navigation
system.
For the connection between the mobile phone and the radio and navigation
system, the mobile phone must have Bluetooth®
and it must be activated.
If no mobile phone is connected to the radio and navigation system, tele-
phone control from the navigator and voice control will not be available.
● Pair and connect the mobile phone to the radio and navigation system
⇒ page 80.
When the mobile phone has been paired with the navigation system, the
phone can be controlled via the navigation system and the multifunction
controls on the steering wheel using the vehicle instrument panel. Func-
tions available include making calls in hands-free mode, access to the mo-
bile phone book, access to the list of calls received, missed and recently di-
alled, and control of these functions using the voice recognition system.
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.
Please observe instructions concerning the use of mobile phones in vehi-
cles without an external aerial ⇒ page 79.
WARNING
Telephone calls and the use of the mobile phone pre-installation while
driving may distract the driver from the road and result in accident.
● You should always drive with due care and attention.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times, e.g. emergency service sirens.
● Your call may be cut off or you may be unable to make calls if you are
in an area with no mobile phone network coverage, an area where the
network is very weak or, in some cases, in a tunnel, garage or underpass.
This also means that no emergency calls can be made.
WARNING
If your mobile phone is loose and is not securely fastened, it could be
thrown around the vehicle interior in the event of sudden braking, sharp
movements or accident and cause injury to passengers.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always secure the mobile phone prop-
erly outside the airbag deployment zone.
WARNING
Mobile phones may affect the operation of pacemakers. Always maintain
a suitable distance between the phone and the pacemaker.
● Maintain a gap of roughly 20 centimetres between the aerials of the
mobile phone and the pacemaker, as mobile phones may affect the func-
tioning of pacemakers. 
