Data transmissions for Your Seat Arona 4 Door First Generation (2017-2026)

Over-the-air update  
WARNING  
NOTICE  
Data transmissions  
In very rare cases, a control unit may not  
function properly after an over-the-air up-  
date. Malfunctioning of a control unit and the  
vehicle can lead to serious accidents and fa-  
tal injuries.  
If special modifications have been made to  
vehicles outside the scope of SEAT's respon-  
sibility (for example, for emergency service  
vehicles or taxis), there is a risk that special  
functions (e.g. the taximeter) may no longer  
work properly after an over-the-air update.

Troubleshooting  
Introduction  
The installation of an over-the-air update  
has failed.  
With SEAT CONNECT Gen3 you can connect  
your vehicle to the Internet. This allows you to  
extend the scope of various services. A descrip-  
tion of the available services can be found on  
the Internet at:  
●
Always use the most up-to-date version of  
the corresponding service description.  
●
If an update is not installed correctly, an error  
message will appear in the infotainment system  
or in the instrument cluster. Observe the corre-  
sponding messages and warnings.

GPS tracking: marking  
If the vehicle has a factory-fitted control unit  
that transmits its current geographical position  
and speed, the vehicle usually has this GPS  
marking, e.g. on the ceiling console. The ab-  
sence of the marking on the vehicle does not  
guarantee that the control unit does not trans-  
mit the vehicle’s current geographical position  
and speed.  
During the use of SEAT CONNECT services, in-  
formation is transferred and processed online  
through the vehicle. Such data can also provide  
(at least indirectly) information about the driver  
in question, for example, driving behaviour and  
location. As a contracting party in the SEAT  
CONNECT contract with SEAT, S.A., you must  
ensure that when your vehicle is used by other  
drivers (for example, family or friends), data  
protection and personal rights are respected.  
Therefore, you must inform drivers in advance  
that the vehicle transfers and receives data on-  
line, and that you can access such data.  
Once the infotainment system has processed  
the orders by radiofrequency, the accreditation  
of the ownership will have been completed.  
You can control the current status in the SEAT  
CONNECT portal.  
Personal information  
SEAT protects your personal data and only  
uses them, as long as the law allows it or you  
have given your consent on the occasion of a  
use. You will find detailed information on data  
processing in relation to SEAT CONNECT serv-  
ices in the Privacy Policy, which you can ac-  
cess in its corresponding current version on the  
SEAT website.

Follow-up services: ask all occupants  
Permanent transfer of the vehicle  
The follow-up services need geographical and  
vehicle data to determine whether the vehicle is  
being used within defined speed ranges, where  
it has been parked or if it is being used in an es-  
tablished geographical area. This information is  
displayed on the SEAT CONNECT portal and in  
the SEAT CONNECT app.  
If another person has left you the vehicle for  
permanent use (for example, if you buy a used  
vehicle), SEAT CONNECT may already be acti-  
vated and the previous user still has the possi-  
bility of accessing the data registered through  
SEAT CONNECT and control certain functions  
of your vehicle.  
Identity accreditation (SEAT Ident)  
Identity accreditation must be done before you  
can use SEAT CONNECT services that are rele-  
vant to security, such as the “Remote Opening”  
service. Identity accreditation can be done in  
two ways:  
●
●
In person at the SEAT dealership.  
Therefore, before moving o„, ask all the vehi-  
cle occupants if they agree with the activated  
services. If they do not, deactivate the service in  
question (if possible) or do not allow the occu-  
pants to use the vehicle.  
In the infotainment system you can check if  
your vehicle is assigned to a person as the  
main user. In this case, you can register yourself  
as the main user of the vehicle and thus auto-  
matically delete the previous main user. Alter-
