WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens). ●
If you set the volume excessively high you
may suffer damage to your ears. This can also
happen if you are exposed to an excessively
high volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you switch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio source or connecting a new audio
source ››› page 7
. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium while driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not obstruct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the
vehicle or not properly secured could be flung
though the interior during a sudden driving
or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an
accident. ●
Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the windscreen, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, on the dash panel, on the seat backr-
ests or between these areas and the passen-
gers. These units may cause serious injury in
the event of an accident, especially if the air-
bag is activated. WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm movements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion. WARNING
Opening the housing of a CD player can cause
injury due to invisible laser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a special-
ised workshop. WARNING
The recommendations and traffic signs
shown by the navigation system may differ
from the true traffic conditions.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority over the recommendations and in-
structions given by the navigation system.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visi-
bility, road, traffic and weather conditions. » 3

General operating information
Introduction Note
● Lightly pressing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
function buttons are available as the software
of the unit responds to the specific character-
istics of each market. If a function button is missing on the display this is not due to an
error in the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
functions cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile phone inside the vehicle
can cause noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth devices in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
distance warning system, the volume of the
audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged. Rotary knobs and buttons

Navigation
Navigation Introduction and operation of
the navigation system Introduction General information
The current position of the vehicle is deter-
mined through the GPS satellite system
(Global Positioning System). Sensors in the
vehicle measure distances driven. With the
detailed material stored in the map, and ac-
cording to the traffic news stored, all the val-
ues obtained are compared. Similarly, the
traffic reports are taken into account to calcu-
late the route (dynamic navigation
››› page 35 ). With all the data available, the
n av
igation system calculates the optimum
route to the destination.
The destination is defined by entering an ad-
dress or a point of interest, e.g. a petrol sta-
tion or hotel.
Spoken instructions and visual guidance on
the navigation unit and the combi-instrument
direct you to your destination.
Depending on the country, some infotain-
ment system functions can no longer be se-
lected when the vehicle is travelling above a
certain speed. This is not an operational er- ror; it is to comply with the legal require-
ments.
Limitations during navigation Possible errors during navigation
When the navigation system cannot receive
data from the GPS satellites (dense tree foli-
age, underground parking areas), it is possi-
ble to proceed with navigation using the sys-
tem of vehicle sensors.
For the navigator to work properly, navigation
should begin when the signal is received
from the satellite.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised
on the data medium (e.g. insufficient defini-
tion of one-way streets and road categories),
the navigation system will still attempt to
provide route guidance.
If navigation data are unavailable or incom-
plete, the navigation system may be unable
to determine the exact vehicle position. As a
result, the navigation may not be as exact as
usual.
Area of navigation and validity of the
navigation data
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, changes to street
names and house numbers). After some
time, navigation data will no longer be up-to-date. This may lead to inaccurate or incorrect
route guidance.
Current navigation data media and versions
for other countries are available from SEAT
dealerships.
Note
The user must pay attention to the road
signs, which take precedence over those
shown on the screen. Use navigation data from a memory
card
Memory cards containing updated navigation
data can be obtained from SEAT dealerships.
●
Insert the memory card ›››
page 23 .
● Do not remove the memory card while test-
ing. Wait for the testing icon to disappear.
If the inserted memory card contains valid
navigation data, the following message ap-
pears: “The source contains a valid naviga-
tion database”. It is now possible to navigate
with the memory card data. When the memo-
ry card is no longer needed by the hardware,
it will be prepared for removal ›››
page 23.

Navigation
Note
● Do not remove the memory card while the
navigation data is in use. This could damage
the memory card!
● The navigation memory card may not be
used as memory for other files. The infotain-
ment system will not recognise the files
saved.
● SEAT recommends only using original SEAT
memory cards to use navigation data. The
use of other memory cards could limit its op-
eration. Main menu of navigation

Navigation
Depending on the setup, upon starting gui-
ded navigation, 3 alternative routes
› ›
› Fig. 28 will be proposed. These 3 routes
correspond to the route options selected in
this function: Quick, short and economical
routes.
Route criteria: meaning
Blue route: Economical route: it is calculated seeking a
balance between savings in terms of kilometres and
time.
Red route: Quickest route to the destination, although it
involves diversions.
Orange route: Shortest route to the destination, al-
though it requires more time. The navigation route may
include unusual route sections, e.g. dirt roads. ●
Select the route desired by pressing on the
map.
The criteria setup in the menu Route options
will be modified accordingly.
If you do not select any route, navigation to
the destination will begin after approximately
one minute depending on the settings in Route options .
Navigation instructions (spoken
recommendations for driving)
After calculating the route, you will hear the
first navigation instruction. Before turning
you may hear up to 3 navigation instructions, for example: “Turn left shortly”, “Turn left in
300 metres” and “Turn left now”.
●
Press the setup button to repeat the last
navigation message.
The distances indicated largely depend on
the type of road and the speed at which you
are driving. For example, on motorways the
instructions are given significantly earlier
than in cities.
On roads with several lanes, on roads that di-
vide and on roundabouts, the corresponding
navigation instructions will also be given, for
example: “On the roundabout, take the sec-
ond exit”.
Upon reaching the destination, you will hear
the indication that you have arrived at your
destination.
During dynamic navigation to the destination
y ou w

ill be informed of any traffic incidents
received. An additional announcement is giv-
en if the route is recalculated due to traffic
congestion. An announcement will be given
when sections of the route are excluded man-
ually.
During an acoustic indication, you can modi-
fy the volume with the control  to define a
minimum or maximum volume level. All fol-
lowing announcements will then be made at
this volume. For other acoustic indication setups, see
An-
nouncement setup ››› page 37. Note
● If you miss a turning during route guidance
and are currently unable to turn back, keep
on driving until the navigation system offers
a new route.
● The quality of the instructions given by the
unit will depend on the navigation data avail-
able and the traffic reports received. Route
