Steering column controls*

General information

The steering column incorporates multifunc-

tional modules from which the audio and tel-

ephone functions of the vehicle can be con-

trolled.

There are two versions of the multifunction

module:

●

Audio version, to control the available au-

dio functions from the steering wheel.

●

Audio + Telephone version, to control the

available audio functions and the telephone

system from the steering wheel.

Both versions can be used to control the au-

dio system (Radio, Audio CD, MP3 CD,

iPod¹⁾/PND¹⁾).

The PND (portable navigation device) repro-

duces audio files through a micro SD card

and Bluetooth audio-streaming, and tracks

may be changed using the controls on the

steering column.

General information

During a call

Press once: it ends the call

This system allows you to connect your mo-

bile phone via Bluetooth connection and to

use the hands-free mode.

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.

Press once: the PND goes into tele-

phone mode (if not already in this

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.

Without an in-

coming call

Press twice: opens the call history of

the telephone connected to the PND.

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.

Press three times: the first number in

the call history is called.

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.

Press once: the PND will display the

message “There is no telephone con-

nected, please connect a telephone”.

WARNING

There may be restrictions on the use of

Bluetooth devices in some countries. Infor-

mation is available from the local authorities.

Before starting the trip, you should famili-

arise yourself with the different functions of

the Bluetooth system. Bluetooth system set-

tings should adjusted when the car is stop-

ped or by a passenger.

Exchange of information between the mobile

phone and the Bluetooth system

Note

The mobile phone system sends the data and

the requests via Bluetooth to the mobile

phone that is connected. If the connected

mobile phone is temporarily “overloaded”, it

may not respond to the requests from the

Bluetooth system.

Compatibility with mobile phones

●

The voice control system is only available

in the following languages: Spanish, Mexican

Spanish, German, English, French, Canadian

French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian

and Dutch. For other languages, the prede-

fined language for the voice instructions is

English. Please take the vehicle to technical

services if you wish to change the language.

New models of mobile phones are being re-

leased constantly by the different brands,

with different operating systems and differ-

ent ways of operating. For this reason there

are some mobile phones that do not perform

some of the functions correctly or are even

totally incompatible. To help you when

at your dealer.

system. 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.

Bluetooth system components

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.

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.

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.

The procedure for pairing your mobile phone

to the SEAT system for the first time is descri-

bed below.

the Bluetooth system.

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.

●

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.

Each telephone must be paired to the Blue-

tooth system before using it for the first time.

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.

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-

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

again.

●

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 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”).

seconds to enter the PIN, you will have to

start the process over again.

during the questions of the first connection.

The connection to the system has not been

deleted in the mobile.

●

The contacts from the mobile phone's

memory and/or SIM card are transferred to

the vehicle system¹⁾. 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.

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.

Voice control orders (commands)

●

Voice control can be used in the following

languages:

Avoid poor articulation of words.

The hands-free microphone is directed to-

wards the driver, therefore, only the driver

should try to operate the system.

Keep the doors, windows and sun roof

closed if possible to avoid background

noises that might affect the system.

Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English,

US English, French, Canadian French, Italian,

Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch.

●

To make a call when there is heavy back-

ground noise we recommend using the

speech controlled telephone book instead of

speaking individual digits. This will help

avoid mistakes when specifying telephone

numbers.

●

Keep the air vents directed away from the

microphone (located on the interior light).

The language is configured at the dealer and

can only be changed at a SEAT Official Serv-

ice.
