“Media sources” are audio sources contain-
ing audio files on various different data stor-
age devices (e.g. CD, memory card, external
MP3 player). These audio files can be played
by the Infotainment system via their corre-
sponding drives or audio input sockets (inter-
nal CD drive, memory card slot, AUX-IN multi-
media socket etc.). »

Introduction 

table on page 2
General information
The current vehicle position is determined by
means of the GPS satellite system (Global Po-
sitioning System). Sensors in the vehicle
measure distances that have been driven.
The measurement values are compared with
the detailed map data and the road informa-
tion stored therein. Traffic reports, if any, will
also be taken into account in the route calcu-
lation (dynamic route guidance
››› page 43). Using all the data available,
the Infotainment system calculates the opti-
mum 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 on the dash panel
will 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 a malfunction, but
simp
ly

a legal requirement.
Navigation messages When the Infotainment system is unable to
rec
eiv

e any data from GPS satellites (due to a
dense tree canopy, underground car park),
navigation can still continue using the vehi-
cle sensors.
Possible navigation limitations
In areas that are not or are only partially digi-
tised on the data storage device (e.g. insuffi-
cient definition of one-way streets and road
categories), the Infotainment 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.
Navigation area and updating of navigation
data
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, changes to street
names and building numbers). Therefore, if
the navigation data is not updated, then er-
rors or inaccuracies may occur during guid-
ance. SEAT recommends updating navigation data
on a re
gu

lar basis. Up to date navigation da-
ta can be acquired at a SEAT dealer.
Use navigation data from a memory
card. Memory cards containing updated navigation
dat
a c

an be obtained from SEAT dealerships.
● Insert the memory card ›››
page 31 .
● Do not remove the memory card while test-
ing. W

ait 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 31. Note
● The inser t

ed memory card must be pre-
pared before it is ejected ››› page 31.
● Press the Infotainment button MENU ; then,
pre s

s Setup to open the System settings
menu.
● Navigation is not possible without the SD
card. 36
