Mobile telephones and two-way radios

SEAT has approved for your vehicle the use of mobile telephones and two-
way radios providing under the following conditions:
● The external aerial should be correctly installed.
● The transmitting power should be a maximum 10 watts.
The optimal reach of the equipment is only achieved with an external aerial.
First consult your Technical Service if you wish to use a mobile telephone or
a two-way radio with a transmitting power output in excess of 10 watts.
Here you will receive information concerning the technical possibilities for
retrofitting this equipment.
Safety Operation
Accessories, replacement of parts and modifications
Mobile telephones and two-way radios should be only fitted by a special-
ised workshop, for example a SEAT dealership.
WARNING

driving you could have an accident.
● Never attach the telephone mountings to the surfaces covering the
airbag units or within the range of the airbags. There is a high danger of
injury if the airbag is triggered.
● Using your mobile telephones or two-way radios in the vehicle with-
out an external aerial, electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could ex-
ceed authorised limits. This also may occur to external aerials that have
not been correctly installed.
