Hi everyone. New owner here. I've only had my car a week so still finding my feet with it. This morning driving to work I received an urgent phone from my boss. Being new to the car, I wasn't able to answer it before he hung up! He was none too pleased when I got to work and I received a bollocking ...

My question is:

How do you answer a phone call in the Born? Can you do it via the steering wheel buttons or must you go into the infotainment screen? I I was pushing the voice button on the right but Iit obviously didn't work. The manual refers to a telephone button but there isn't one and while it deals with how to make calls it doesn't cover off how to answer one.

Grateful for any assistance.

When I get a call I get the ring tone through the car and a small green phone icon in the top left hand side of the Infotainment screen.
Tap that and the call is answered. There may be a way to do it via the wheel but never needed to explore more options. The above method works fine for me.

Press "Ok" on the right side of the steering wheel.

I would like to know if you can end a call on the steering wheel. Pressing the red phone symbol on the screen can be quite hazardous whilst you're driving.

Agreed. Maybe pressing OK again on the wheel does it.

Thanks everyone -as helpfully suggested by Pacajara the OK button seems to work to answer and hang up calls.

Would have been helpful if Cupra had included that in the manual. If Cupra are reading this, perhaps they could update the pdf accordingly.
