Notes on road safetyOnly use the system when the traffic conditions allow you to
do so safely.As well as offering full navigation functions, the SEAT navigation system with
its numerous extra features also provides a wealth of in-car entertainment
and a great deal of information about traffic and road conditions.
Carry out your settings in the navigation system only when the vehicle
⇒page 115 is stationary. If you operate the navigation system while driving,
you should always be aware of the current traffic situation and, if necessary,
give your full concentration to road safety. When driving, make use of the
multi-function steering wheel* whenever possible ⇒page 14.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the driver, you
bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, only use the SEAT naviga-
tion system when traffic conditions so permit, always remaining in control
of the vehicle. If not, an accident may occur.•The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables
you to hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade
sirens. Failure to do so may cause an accident.•Always obey the laws concerning the use of telephones in vehicles!

duction and avoid damage to media drives:•Do not use dirty CDs•Do not use damaged or scratched CDs•Do not use labels•Do not use protective rings•Do not use a CD cover or a stabiliser•Do not use non-circular CDs (shape CDs)•Do not use single CDs (8 cm / 3" in diameter)
Always store unused CDs in a suitable CD case and do not expose them to
direct sunlight.
Cleaning media drives and CDs
Never use a CD player cleaning disc to clean drives.
Clean CDs with a soft lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from the
centre outwards. If necessary, stubborn stains can be removed with a
commercially available CD cleaner or with isopropyl alcohol. Please never use
petrol, paint thinner or record cleaner, as these can damage the CDs.

Functions
The iPod is operated just like a CD changer using the controls
on your vehicle's navigation system.The following functions are available:•Play all tracks stored on the iPod•Select and play up to five playlists (just like selecting CD 1 to 5 on a CD
changer).•Change between playlists (just like “selecting a CD” on the CD changer)•Fast forward and rewind within a track•Change tracks within a playlist•Shuffle function (random selection of tracks)•SCAN function
For further information on operation, please refer to the “CD/MP3” chapter
⇒ page 44.TipsHere are some tips and points to remember when using the iPod in the
vehicle:•Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits in the navigation
system display. The first digit is suppressed if you select a track with a three-
digit number, i.e. track 125 and track 25 are both displayed as track “25”. For
this reason we do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each
playlist.•If you reach the end of a playlist when selecting a track directly
(forward/reverse), the count is resumed at track “1”.
•The track numbers are counted up sequentially in the navigation system
display when you play tracks in shuffle mode (MIX).•We recommend you do not use the “Name CD” function, as all the playl-
ists will then be allocated the same name.USB Interface*Introduction
You can connect a memory stick or an MP3 player to the
vehicle's on-board navigation system via the USB port.The USB port is located in your vehicle's glove box. It is compatible with all
memory sticks and MP3 players approved by SEAT. Problems can occur if you
use a memory stick or MP3 player not list ed in the table. Your memory device
must be USB-certified as a minimum requirement.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the driver, you
bear the responsibility for road safety. Do not remove the memory stick or
MP3 player while driving. Failure to do so may cause an accident.•The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables
you to hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade
sirens. Failure to do so may cause an accident.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence inside a vehicle)
may cause damage to the memory stick or MP3 player and/or impair its
performance.

interior) may cause damage to portable players and/or impair their perform-
ance. Please do not leave your portable player in the vehicle in case of
extreme temperatures.•Never store important data on portable players. SEAT is not liable in any
manner for any data or files that may be damaged or lost.Note
