Activation of SEAT CONNECT and S-
PIN

The following steps are necessary for the ac-
tivation of SEAT CONNECT (including registra-
tion):

●

Create a user account at https://my.seat or

directly through the infotainment system in the
User Management menu.

●

Place the SEAT CONNECT order and activate

it.

●

Add the vehicle to your user account.

●

Prove ownership.

●

Prove your identity. It is only necessary if you

are to run SEAT CONNECT services relevant to
security.

●

You can activate it at https://my.seat or di-

rectly through the infotainment system. To ac-
tivate it through the infotainment system, pro-
ceed as follows:

S-PIN

The S-PIN is a sequence of several digits, which
can be selected when completed the SEAT
CONNECT registration.
When creating the S-PIN, avoid easy-to-guess
number sequences and known dates of birth.
You can change the S-PIN in the SEAT CON-
NECT user account in “Account settings”.
The S-PIN is necessary, for example, to protect
your user profile or to run a SEAT CONNECT
service relevant to the security of your vehicle.
You must manage this S-PIN with absolute con-
fidentiality.
If you reveal the S-PIN to third parties, for secur-
ity reasons you must change it immediately.

Ownership and identity accredita-
tion

Become primary user

To become a main user and thus prove own-
ership of the vehicle, you need both of the ve-
hicle’s physical keys. Ownership accreditation
takes place in the vehicle during registration or,
if you already have a SEAT CONNECT user ac-
count, you must log in through the infotainment
system and then go to

User management

●

Switch on the ignition and the infotainment

system.

●

In the infotainment system, register in SEAT

CONNECT.

Or:

open the menu

Users > Settings

> Become primary user

and follow the in-

structions.

●

Press the unlock button on the first vehicle

key.

●

Press the unlock button on the second vehicle

key.
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 CON-
NECT portal.

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

service. Proof of identity is provided at a SEAT
dealership.
You can find more information about SEAT
Ident on the SEAT CONNECT portal at https://
my.seat.

Legal provisions

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.

CarManuals2.com

Data transmissions

239

SEAT CONNECT

Not taking into account this obligation to inform,
can infringe certain rights of the occupants.
Users can manage data sending and transfers
through the privacy mode at any time. More
information at: https://my.seat/faq.

Follow-up services: ask all occupants

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.
Therefore, before moving off, 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.

GPS tracking: marking

If the vehicle has a factory-assembled control
unit that transmits the its current geographical
position and speed, the vehicle usually has this
GPS marking (e.g., on the roof console). The
absence 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.

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.

Permanent transfer of the vehicle

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.
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-
natively, through the infotainment system you
can directly and permanently delete the previ-
ous user as the main user, as well as put the
vehicle in offline mode and thus limit both the
communication of your vehicle with the SEAT,
S.A. data server and the processing of personal
and vehicle data.

Deactivating SEAT CONNECT serv-
ices

The following functions are available to acti-
vate and deactivate the SEAT CONNECT serv-
ices:

●

Allow or prevent data transmissions through

the infotainment system

●

Whenever possible: individual deactivation or

activation

›››

page 240

You can run the relevant services again after
cancelling their deactivation.

Note

The services required by law and their data
transmission cannot be disconnected or de-
activated, for example, the emergency call
system (eCall).

Faults

Even if the prerequisites for the use of SEAT
CONNECT services are met, there may be fac-
tors beyond the control of SEAT, S.A. that inter-
fere with the execution of such services or pre-
vent them. These may be specifically:

●

Maintenance, repair, deactivation, software

update and technical expansion of telecommu-
nication equipment, satellites, servers and data
banks.

Safety instructions

Some function areas may include links to third-
party websites. SEAT, S.A. is not the owner of
the third-party websites accessible through the
links, and assumes no liability for their content.
Some function areas may include outside infor-
mation from third-party providers. SEAT, S.A. is
not responsible for such information being cor-
rect, up-to-date or complete, or for ensuring it
does not infringe the rights of third parties.
Radio stations and owners of data media and
audio sources are responsible for the informa-
tion they transmit.

Bear in mind that parking lots, tunnels, tall
buildings, mountains or due to the operation of
other electrical devices, such as chargers, can
also interfere with the reception of the radio
signal.
Foils or adhesives with metallic layers on the
antenna and on the window panes can inter-
fere with radio reception.

WARNING

The infotainment central computer is inter-
connected with the control units mounted
on the vehicle. Therefore, there is a serious
danger of accident and injury if the central
computer is repaired or disassembled and
reassembled incorrectly.

●

Never replace the central computer with

another used, recycled or from another vehi-
cle at the end of its useful life.

●

The repair or disassembly and reassembly

of the central computer should only be car-
ried out at specialised workshops. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.

WARNING

Any distraction affecting the driver in any
way can lead to an accident and cause inju-
ries. Reading the information on the screen
and managing the infotainment system can
distract your attention from traffic and cause
an accident.

●

Always drive as carefully and responsibly

as possible.

CarManuals2.com

First steps

WARNING

Connecting, inserting or removing an audio
source or data media while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic and
cause an accident.

WARNING

Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens).

●

Hearing may be impaired if using too high a

volume setting, even if only for short periods
of time.

WARNING

The following circumstances may result in an
emergency call, phone call or data transmis-
sion not being made or being interrupted:

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient mo-

bile telephony or GPS signal. Also in tunnels,
confined areas between very tall buildings,
garages, underpasses, mountains and val-
leys.

●

When in areas with sufficient mobile phone

or GPS signal, the telephony network of
the telecommunications provider has inter-
ference or is not available.

●

When the vehicle components necessary

to make emergency calls, phone calls and to
transmit data are damaged, do not work or
do not have sufficient electrical power.

●

When the battery of the mobile phone de-

vice is discharged or its charge level is insuf-
ficient.

WARNING

In some countries and some telephone net-
works it is only possible to make an emer-
gency call, if a mobile telephone device is
connected to the telephone interface of the
vehicle, inside it there is an “unlocked” SIM
card with sufficient balance to make calls
and with sufficient network signal coverage.

WARNING

Read and observe the operating instructions
provided by the manufacturer in question
when using mobile phone devices, data me-
dia, external devices, external audio and
multimedia sources.

WARNING

When changing or connecting an audio
or multimedia source may cause sudden
changes in the volume.

●

Lower the volume before connecting or

switching to audio or multimedia sources.

WARNING

If mobile phone and radiocommunication de-
vices are used without connection to an
external antenna, the maximum electromag-
netic radiation levels inside the vehicle might
be surpassed, thus posing a risk to the health
of the driver and passengers. This is also the
case if the external antenna has not been
correctly installed.

●

Keep a distance of at least 20 centimetres

between the antennas of the mobile phone
device and an active medical device, such as
a pacemaker, as mobile phones might alter
the functioning of these devices.

●

Do not carry a mobile phone switched

on very close or directly on top of an ac-
tive medical device, for instance in a chest
pocket.

●

Immediately turn off the mobile phone if

you suspect it is causing interferences in an
active medical device or any other medical
device.

WARNING

Mobile phones, external devices and acces-
sories that are loose or not properly secured
could move around the passenger compart-
ment during a sudden driving or braking ma-
noeuvre or an accident and cause damage
or injury.

●

Set mobile phone devices, external devices

and their accessories outside the airbag de-
ployment areas or store them securely.

CarManuals2.com

250

Infotainment system

●

Position the connection cables of the audio

sources and external devices so that they do
not interfere with the driver.

WARNING

The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm movements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.

●

Keep the storage compartments of the

centre armrest closed at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

If the light conditions are not good and the
screen is damaged or dirty, the indications
and information displayed on the screen may
not be read or be read incorrectly.

●

The indications and information displayed

on the screen should never induce to take
any risk that compromises safety. The screen
is not a replacement for driver awareness.

WARNING

Radio stations can transmit disaster or haz-
ard announcements. The following condi-
tions prevent such notices from being re-
ceived or issued:

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient ra-

dio signal. Also in tunnels, confined areas
between very tall buildings, garages, under-
passes, mountains and valleys.

●

When the frequency bands of the radio

station have interference or are not available
in areas with sufficient radio signal recep-
tion.

●

When the speakers and the vehicle com-

ponents necessary for radio reception are
damaged, do not work or do not have suffi-
cient electrical power.

WARNING

Switch off mobile phone devices in areas
with a risk of explosion!

WARNING

The driving recommendations and traffic in-
dications shown on the navigation system
may differ from the current traffic situation.

●

Traffic signs, signalling systems, traffic

regulations and local circumstances prevail
over driving recommendations and naviga-
tion system indications.

●

Adapt your speed and driving style to

suit visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.

●

Certain circumstances can significantly in-

itially planned lengthen both the duration of
the trip and the route to the destination, or
even temporarily prevent navigation to it, for
example, if a road is closed to traffic.

NOTICE

In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mobile phones is forbidden, the
mobile device in question must be switched
off at all times. The radiation produced by a
mobile phone device when switched on may
interfere with sensitive technical and medi-
cal equipment, possibly resulting in malfunc-
tion or damage to the equipment.

NOTICE

If the playback volume is excessive or distor-
ted, the speakers may be damaged.

Operating indications

●

The infotainment needs a few seconds for

the complete start-up of the system and during
that time it does not react to inputs. Only the
image of the rear view camera system can be
displayed during system start-up.

●

The display of all indications and the execu-

tion of functions only takes place once the info-
tainment system has finished booting. The du-
ration of the system booting depends on the
number of infotainment functions and may take
longer than normal in the event of very high or
very low temperatures.

●

When using the infotainment system and

corresponding accessories, e.g., headphones,
bear in mind country-specific regulations and
legal provisions.

●

Some functions of the infotainment system

require an active SEAT CONNECT user account
and an Internet connection for the vehicle. The
data transmission must not be limited to per-
form the functions.

●

To use the infotainment system, simply lightly

press a button or touch the screen.

●

For the correct operation of the infotainment

system it is important that it is switched on and
that, if necessary, the time and date of the vehi-
cle are set correctly.

●

If a function button is missing on the screen,

it is not a device defect, but corresponds to the
specific equipment of the country or version.

●

Some infotainment functions can only be se-

lected when the vehicle is at a standstill. In
some countries the parking lock must also be
enabled (button

) or the selector control must

be in the neutral position

. This is not a mal-

function, but is due to compliance with legisla-
tion.

●

Restrictions on the use of devices using Blue-

tooth® technology may apply in some coun-
tries. For further information, contact the local
authorities.

●

If you disconnect the 12 volt battery, turn on

the ignition before restarting the infotainment
system.

●

If the setup is changed, this may change the

display on the screen and in some cases, the
infotainment system may behave in a manner
different to that described in this instruction
manual.

●

In some countries, the infotainment system

automatically shuts off when the engine is
switched off and the vehicle's 12-volt battery
charge level is low.

●

Ensure that any repairs or modifications that

need to be carried out on the infotainment sys-
tem are carried out by a specialised workshop.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this.

●

Using a mobile phone device inside the vehi-

cle may cause noise in the speakers.

●

On vehicles with park assist, the audio source

volume is automatically lowered when reverse
gear is selected. The volume reduction can be
adjusted.

●

Information about the included software and

the license conditions can be found in

Set-

tings > Copyright

●

When selling or lending the vehicle, make

sure that all saved data, files and settings have
been deleted and, if necessary, external audio
sources and data media have been removed.

Voice control

Introduction

Voice control works both online and offline, tak-
ing into account the aspects indicated in the
section “

Languages available depending on

the market

”. In online mode, commands are re-

corded more accurately, as more data is avail-
able.
Voice control understands questions and ex-
pressions without having to learn commands.
Commands can be formulated freely and can
be colloquial. Command proposals can be
found in the infotainment system, for example
in the

Help > Voice control

menu.

Functions are reduced in offline mode.
Loud noises inside or outside the vehicle can
cause malfunctions, as well as confusing phra-
ses and answers.

Languages available depending on the mar-
ket

●

Online and offline:

German, American Eng-

lish, British English, French, Italian, Spanish,
Czech, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish,
Danish and Norwegian. These languages have

advanced functions such as Online Com-
mands, air conditioning control, natural interac-
tion, etc.
The other languages of the infotainment system

do not

offer air conditioning control or natural

interaction.

Requirements

●

Online and offline:

voice control with the cor-

responding infotainment installed in the vehicle.

Navigation

Navigation

Introduction

Fig. 171

Schematic diagram: Navigation view.

A global satellite system determines the current
position of the vehicle and the sensors moun-
ted on the vehicle analyse the routes taken.
All measured values and possible traffic events
are compared with the available maps to allow
optimal navigation to the destination.
Navigation announcements and graphic repre-
sentations will guide you to your destination.
Navigation management is carried out on the
screen.
Depending on the country, some functions of
the infotainment system will not be available
on the screen when travelling above a certain
speed. It is not a malfunction, but is due to com-
pliance with legislation.

Navigation announcements

Navigation announcements are acoustic indi-
cations for driving referred to the current route.
The type and frequency of navigation an-
nouncements depend on the driving situation,
for example, starting the guide to the destina-
tion, driving on the motorway or on a round-
about and the settings.
If the exact destination cannot be reached be-
cause, for example, it is in a non-digitised area,
indications relating to the address and the dis-
tance to the destination are displayed on the
screen.

During dynamic route guidance, you will re-
ceive information about reported traffic con-
gestion on the route. An additional navigation
announcement is given if the route is recalcula-
ted due to traffic congestion.
While a navigation announcement is playing,
its volume can be adjusted. The following navi-
gation announcements provided will be played
with the newly adjusted volume.

Limitations during navigation

If the infotainment system cannot receive data
from GPS satellites, for example, in a tunnel or
in an underground garage, navigation contin-
ues using the vehicle's sensors.

CarManuals2.com

268

Infotainment system

In areas that are not digitised or are only parti-
ally digitised on the infotainment memory, the
infotainment system will still attempt to provide
route guidance.
In the case of missing or incomplete navigation
data, it may not be possible to determine the
exact position of the vehicle. This may mean
that navigation is not as precise as usual.
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, road works, roads
closed to traffic, changes to street names and
building numbers). If the navigation data is ob-
solete, this may lead to errors or inaccuracies
during the route guidance.

age the navigation map with additional finger
movements.
