Seat Tarraco (2022 year). Manual in english

Infotainment system

Therefore, there is a serious danger of acci-
dent and injury if the radio is repaired or
disassembled and reassembled incorrect-
ly.

●

Never replace the radio with another ra-

dio that is used, recycled or from another
vehicle at the end of its useful life.

●

The repair or disassembly and reassem-

bly of the radio should only be carried out
at specialised workshops. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.

WARNING

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

●

Always drive as carefully and responsibly

as possible.

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 si-
rens).

●

Hearing may be impaired if using too high

a volume setting, even if only for short peri-
ods of time.

WARNING

The following circumstances may result in
an emergency call, phone call or data
transmission not being made or being inter-
rupted:

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient

mobile telephony or GPS signal. Also in
tunnels, confined areas between very tall
buildings, garages, underpasses, moun-
tains and valleys.

●

When in areas with sufficient mobile

phone or GPS signal, the telephony net-
work of the telecommunications provider
has interference 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

device is discharged or its charge level is
insufficient.

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 instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer in
question when using mobile phone devices,
data media, external devices, external au-
dio and multimedia sources.

WARNING

Position the connection cables of the audio
sources and external devices so that they
do not interfere with the driver.

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
devices are used without connection to an
external antenna, the maximum electro-
magnetic radiation levels inside the vehicle
might be surpassed, thus posing a risk to
the health of the driver and passengers.

172

Introduction

This is also the case if the external antenna
has not been correctly installed.

●

Keep a distance of at least 20 centime-

tres between the antennas of the mobile
phone device and an active medical de-
vice, 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 active
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 ac-
cessories that are loose or not properly se-
cured could move around the passenger
compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and
cause damage or injury.

●

Set mobile phone devices, external devi-

ces and their accessories outside the air-
bag deployment areas or store them se-
curely.

WARNING

The centre armrest may obstruct the driv-
er's arm movements, which could cause an
accident 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 dis-

played 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, un-
derpasses, mountains and valleys.

●

When the frequency bands of the radio

station have interference or are not availa-
ble in areas with sufficient radio signal re-
ception.

●

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.

●

When the infotainment is switched off.

WARNING

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

WARNING

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

●

Traffic signs, signalling systems, traffic

regulations and local circumstances pre-
vail over driving recommendations and
navigation system indications.

●

Adapt your speed and driving style to suit

visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.

●

Certain circumstances can significantly

initially 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.

Note

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

Introduction

General instructions for use

Operating indications

●

The infotainment needs a few seconds for

the complete start-up of the system and dur-
ing 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 exe-

cution of functions only takes place once the
infotainment system has finished booting. The
duration 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., head-
phones, bear in mind country-specific regu-
lations and legal provisions.

●

Some functions of the infotainment system

require an active SEAT CONNECT user ac-
count and an Internet connection for the ve-
hicle. The data transmission must not be limi-
ted to perform the functions.

●

To use the infotainment system, simply

lightly press a button or touch the screen.

●

For the correct operation of the infotain-

ment system it is important that it is switched
on and that, if necessary, the time and date
of the vehicle 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 ver-
sion.

●

Some infotainment functions can only be

selected when the vehicle is at a standstill. In
some countries, the selector lever must also
be in the parking position

or in neutral posi-

tion

. It is not a malfunction, but is due to

compliance with legal provisions.

●

Restrictions on the use of devices using

Bluetooth® technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities.

●

If you disconnect the 12-volt battery, turn

on the ignition before restarting the infotain-
ment 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 in-
struction manual.

●

Ensure that any repairs or modifications

that need to be carried out on the infotain-
ment system are carried out by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.

●

Using a mobile phone device inside the ve-

hicle may cause noise in the speakers.

●

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.

●

On vehicles with park assist, the audio

source volume is automatically lowered when
reverse gear is selected, as well as when the
doors are opened. The volume reduction can
be adjusted.

●

Information about the included software

and the license conditions can be found in

Settings > 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 re-
moved.

Note

You will find more information and tips for
using the infotainment system in the Help
menu.

HOME screen

In the control and display unit you can set up
the views and representation on the home
screen or use the factory setting templates.

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
CONNECT user account in “Account set-
tings”.

The S-PIN is necessary, for example, to pro-
tect your user profile or to run a SEAT CON-
NECT service relevant to the security of your
vehicle.

You must manage this S-PIN with absolute
confidentiality. If you reveal the S-PIN to third
parties, for security reasons you must change
it immediately.

Ownership and identity accredita-
tion

Depending on the Infotainment system, the
ownership accreditation method will be the
2-key method or the registration code meth-
od.

Legal provisions

During the use of SEAT CONNECT services,
information is transferred and processed on-
line through the vehicle. Such data can also
provide (at least indirectly) information about
the driver in question, for example, driving be-
haviour 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 online, and that you can
access such data.

Not taking into account this obligation to in-
form, can infringe certain rights of the occu-
pants.

Users can manage data sending and trans-
fers 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 be-
ing used in an established 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 activa-
ted services. If they do not, deactivate the
service in question (if possible) or do not al-
low the occupants to use the vehicle.

GPS tracking: marking

If the vehicle has a factory-assembled con-
trol unit that transmits the its current geo-
graphical 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 transmit 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
services in the Privacy Policy, which you can
access 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 activated and the previous user still has

Data transfer

the possibility of accessing the data regis-
tered 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 your-
self as the main user of the vehicle and thus
automatically delete the previous main user.
Alternatively, through the infotainment sys-
tem you can directly and permanently delete
the previous 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 in the
infotainment system to deactivate and acti-
vate SEAT CONNECT services:

●

Central deactivation or activation

●

Individual deactivation or activation

You can rerun the corresponding services af-
ter cancelling their deactivation in the info-
tainment system.

Note

The services required by law and their data
transmission, such as the public emergen-
cy call system, cannot be disconnected or
deactivated.

Faults

Even if the prerequisites for the use of SEAT
CONNECT services are met, there may be
factors beyond the control of SEAT, S.A. that
interfere with the execution of such services
or prevent them. These may be specifically:

●

Maintenance, repair, deactivation, software

update and technical expansion of telecom-
munication equipment, satellites, servers and
data banks.

●

Change of the mobile telephony standard

for the transmission of mobile data by the tel-
ecommunications service provider, for exam-
ple, from UMTS to EDGE or GPRS.

●

Disconnection of an existing mobile phone

standard by the telecommunications service
provider.

●

Interference, disturbance or interruption in

the reception of the mobile phone and GPS
signal due to aspects such as high-speed
driving, solar storms, meteorological influen-
ces, topography, blocking equipment and the
intensive use of mobile phones in the radio
cells in question.

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient mo-

bile telephony or GPS signal. Also, for exam-
ple, in tunnels, confined areas between very
tall buildings, garages, underpasses, moun-
tains and valleys.

●

External information from third party sup-

plies available with limitations, incomplete or
incorrect, e.g. representations of maps.

●

Countries and regions where SEAT CON-

NECT is not offered.
