86Telephone speech control systemIntroduction
You can use speech commands to operate various functions 
of the telephone.Functions
When used in combination with the hands-free system, you can make calls 
without touching your mobile phone. The speech control system recognises 
commands and digits spoken by different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:•Create an acoustic phone book for the speech control system  ⇒page 86•Enter and dial a telephone number  ⇒page 91
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The dialogue 
will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is received. To 
answer the call, press the left thumbwheel on the multi-function steering 
wheel* or the talk button   on the mobile phone adapter.
Unclear speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with an acoustic signal. If the 
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with  Pardon? 
and request you to repeat the command. After a third failed attempt the 
system will answer with  Cancel and the dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving fast.•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background noise. Make 
sure that passengers are not talking when you say a command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away from the 
microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front interior lights.•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the hands-free 
microphone is directed towards the driver.WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver, 
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use 
the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle 
in all situations.•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emergency, 
since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed 
or delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers 
manually.
Speech control system phone book
Name tags are stored in the phone book for the speech 
control system.General notes
The phone book for the speech control system has 50 memory positions. You 
can use it independently of the mobile phone. The name tags are stored in

when driving with the navigation system active.Be sure that you always have complete control of your vehicle in all traffic situ-
ations when using navigation system functions.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers. Please 
see  ⇒page 6, “Notes on road safety”.•Pay attention to traffic rules when driving. The route calculated by the 
navigation system is a recommendation of how best to reach a destination. 
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always 
take precedence. Pay attention to traffic lights, no-stopping signs, lane 
change restrictions, one-way streets, etc.Caution
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.
IntroductionIntroductionThe SEAT navigation system can help you reach your destination without 
spending a lot of time studying maps.
During route guidance you receive information in the navigation system 
display  ⇒fig. 114  and instrument panel display  ⇒page 99, fig. 116  
regarding vehicle position, turn-off information (direction and distance to 
turn-off), remaining distance to destination and estimated arrival time. Addi-
tionally, you receive spoken navigation information ⇒ page 100.
There are two possibilities for route guidance:•Route without stopover (single destination mode)•Route with stopovers (route plan)

Navigation (NAV)*
98Route without stopover (single destination mode)
In the single destination mode you can drive directly to a destination 
⇒ page 104.
If you enter a direct destination and start route guidance, you are given the 
option of up to three different routes  ⇒page 113.
Route with stopovers (route plan)
In this mode, you can choose to three stopovers and one final destination 
( ⇒ page 120).
For example, when travelling you can save time by finding the nearest filling 
station in unfamiliar towns. You can also make a stopover to eat in a restau-
rant or visit a tourist attraction  ⇒page 106.
Note
You do not receive any information about the meaning of road signs!How does the navigation system work?
The navigation system works with the help of satellites (GPS).The current vehicle position is determined with the aid of distance sensors, 
manoeuvre sensors and satellite signals. GPS satellites send the necessary 
signals required by the system (GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”).
The information is transmitted to the navigation system and compared with 
the information stored in the navigation DVD map database. This way, the 
route guidance can be accurately calculated.
Before the system can function, a navigation DVD must be inserted in the 
navigation drive. The navigation drive is located behind the system display 
⇒page 22, fig. 24 . When the navigation DVD is inserted, the system starts automatically and 
navigation destinations can be entered 
⇒page 104.
Six different languages (German, Spanish, French, English, Italian and Portu-
guese) are available on the navigation DVD for the audible navigation 
prompts. You can change the language for the voice guidance cues via the 
option  Menu language  ⇒ page 154 in the Setup menu.
Note
•Snow or other obstructions on the GPS aerial or interference caused by 
trees or large buildings could affect the reception of the satellite signals and 
make positioning difficult. GPS reception and vehicle positioning can also be 
adversely affected by deactivation or a malfunction of several satellites.•GPS positioning is uni-directional, i.e. the navigation system receives 
data for positioning the vehicle, but does not transmit any data.Navigation DVDs
The data relating to the starting point and the destination can 
be saved separately in the two navigation DVDs.If this is the case, proceed as follows:
– First put the DVD covering the country of your destination into the  navigation drive  ⇒page 23.
– Enter your destination  ⇒page 104.
– Then put in the DVD for the country where your starting point is  located  ⇒page 23.
–Start the route guidance  ⇒page 112. The navigation system will 
calculate the route.

– Wait until you reach one of the countries that is covered by both 
DVDs. These countries serve as an overlap zone where you can 
change the DVDs.
– Without stopping the route guidance, put the DVD for the country  of your destination into the navigation drive once again 
⇒page 23. Route guidance will be continued automatically.When navigating with two different DVDs, please note the following:•The destination flag will be displayed to indicate the direct line between 
your starting point and your destination.•The system does not process the detailed navigation information on the 
DVD which is not being used.•Some countries are covered by both DVDs. We recommend that you 
change over the DVDs in good time before leaving this overlap zone.Note
•The packaging of the navigation DVD will indicate which countries are 
covered by the DVD.•The traffic infrastructure is subject to changes. Therefore, the information 
stored on the navigation DVD may not always correspond exactly to the roads 
and other features that you encounter.•You can obtain navigation DVDs from your dealer. Your dealer will also be 
able to provide information on updates which are available for the CDs.

Note•If you do not follow the calculated route or if you leave the route, the 
system will automatically calculate a new route plan based on your current 
location.•You can also start a route guidance in demo mode  ⇒page 139 for simu-
lation purposes.Navigation system voice guidanceRoute calculation is announced with a voice message. During this time, “The 
route is being calculated” is shown on the navigation system display and 
“CALC” is shown on the instrument panel display.
When route calculation is complete, guidance is given by spoken driving 
instructions and symbols. Driving recommendations are always made with 
eno ugh time to make a  turn. An announcement is made in different stages in 
preparation for a change of direction.
You can use the following options to repeat the last navigation voice 
message:•Press the Nav-Info  control button ⇒page 130 if you are  not in the Nav-
Info submenu or•Press the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel* 
⇒ page 12.
You can change the language for the voice messages if desired ⇒ page 154.Caution
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always take 
precedence.
Note
•You can adjust the volume of the voice guidance prompts as they are 
being announced using the on/off button  ⇒page 9 on the navigation control 
console or the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel* 
⇒ page 12.•If the vehicle is in a location which cannot be read by the navigation 
system (car park, garage), a voice message will inform you.Dynamic navigation
The dynamic navigation function calculates routes based on 
the currently available TMC traffic messages.These TMC traffic messages are sent by TMC (Traffic Message Channel) radio 
stations in addition to regular programming and are received and processed 
by the navigation system. The reception of TMC traffic messages is free of 
charge in Germany.
If the dynamic navigation function  ⇒page 121 is activated, the system 
constantly checks if relevant TMC messages are available for the set route. If 
the navigation system then determines that a TMC traffic message is relevant 
for the current route, the system will automatically calculate a new route plan 
to the destination.
Note
•The quality of the dynamic navigation function depends largely on the 
quality of the TMC traffic messages. Please note that the TMC messages sent 
by the radio stations may not always be complete and correct.•For more information regarding TMC traffic messages, please refer to 
⇒ page 141.
