ment fitted in your vehicle in some details.
Directions and positions (e.g. right, left, front, rear) are always relative to the
direction of travel of the vehicle unless otherwise stated.
Some sections of this booklet do not apply to all vehicles. If this is the case,
a text at the start of the section indicates to which vehicles it applies, e. g.
“Applies to vehicles with: CD changer”.

model versions, is optional in some mo dels, or is only offered in specific
countries.
® Registered trademarks are marked ®. However, the absence of this
symbol does not constitute a waiver of the rights concerning any propri-
etary name.

for example, during the night.
Therefore, it is recommended that the iPod
® is not left in the vehicle ⇒
Check the iPod
® manufacturer's instructions for more information about
“temperatures”
Caution
•
The excessively high or low temperatures that can occur inside vehicles
may damage the iPod

® and sound systems authorized by SEAT.
•
Do not store vital information on the iPod
®. SEAT will not accept any
responsibility for data or files that are corrupted or lost.
Note
•
To obtain the best sound quality we recommend using an iPod

® to the vehicle sound system. So both share
the stored information and the controls.
The properties and functions of the iPod
® adaptor correspond with the soft-
ware version when delivered.

Turning the iPod
® on and off
Turning On
The iPod
® t u r n s o n a u t o m a t i c a l l y i f i t i s in the adaptor when the sound system
is switched on. The battery will also charge when the iPod
® is in the adaptor.
Turning Off
Depending on the sound system, the iPod
® will turn itself off some minutes
after the sound system is turned off.
Note
Starting the car when the iPod
® is on will momentarily interrupt playback.
Playback will begin again at the point where it was interrupted.
Control of the iPod
® through the sound
system
Music playback through the sound system
Once the iPod
® is attached to the connector, the sound
system detects it as CD changer.
Control is through the sound system controls. The iPod
® is used like a CD
changer. Choosing and playing songs, fast forward and rewind and random
playback are described in the radio or navigation system manual of your
vehicle.
Playing songs from the playlists
Songs can be stored in playlists on the iPod
®. The playlists are ordered by
number and alphabetically in the iPod
® hard disk. The first five playlists stored on your iPod
® can be chosen directly by using
the function keys to on the sound system. The existing playlists will be
assigned by numerical / alphabetical order to the keys to . If, for
example, the function key of the sound system is pressed, the songs on
the second playlist will be played. If an empty or non-existant playlist is
selected, the next play list will be selected.
To make use of the playlists in the vehicle as easy as possible, we recommend
editing a maximum of five playlists in the iPod
®. If you want to play songs
from a playlist that cannot be selected directly by the function keys to ,
we recommend renaming the list using the “iTunes” computer programme so
that it is among the first six on the iPod
® hard disk.
Remember that some versions of iTun es contain predetermined playlists (on-
the-go, my favourites). These folders also count in the total of six that the
vehicle sound system can play. Ensure that they are ordered and arranged
conveniently.
Pressing the key will enable all the songs on the iPod to be played.
Consult the iPod
® manufacturer's instruction manual to learn how to select
and store songs and create playlists.
Play all recorded songs
If the function key of the sound system is pressed, all the songs on the
iPod
® will be played.
Selecting songs manually on the iPod
®
The iPod
® also allows songs to be selected directly Select the song on the
iPod
® and attach it to the connector. The sound system will play the selected
song.
When the song finishes, all the remaining songs in the same group on the
iPod® will be played (by artist, genre, album, playlist...)

Navigation
28•
The destination guide is subject to constant changes despite the infor-
mation about one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored on the naviga-
tion CD. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking
and stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions is not included in
the navigation system. Traffic signs and legislation always have priority
over the recommendations made by the system.
•
Adjust your speed to suit road traffi c conditions and also weather and
visibility conditions. Do not be guided exclusively by the navigation system
indications and always respect traffic rules.
The navigation CDInserting the navigation CD
– Press the button ⇒page 4, fig. 1 to eject any CD in the
CD slot.
– Remove the CD and insert the navigation CD with the written side facing up.
– Push the CD into the slot until the MFD2 radio navigation system pulls it in. The program stored on the navigation CD is loaded. Do
not remove the navigation CD before the loading process is
finished.The navigation CD contains a digitalised road map. The extent to which small
villages, streets and house numbers are contained on the CD depends on the
CD version. The content of the CD is constantly being updated. You will receive informa-
tion on new updates at your next SEAT Official Service. You will need a new
navigation CD for every country that you travel to.
Note
If the text
CD ? is displayed in the small marking above the /
button, the CD inserted in the CD drive cannot be read and may be
damaged.General notesYou can continue to listen to the radio or CD (via the CD changer) whilst you
are being guided to your destination.
When entering an address (town, street ) only those letters or symbols which
make up a logical entry depending on th e contents of the navigation CD will
be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do not forget to enter
the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such as Milton
Keynes.
The route will be recalculated if you leave or disregard the route that was orig-
inally calculated. This process takes only a few seconds.
The last voice message can be repeate d. The volume of a navigation recom-
mendation can be changed whilst it is being made.
A variety of different information on the route can be called up during active
route guidance. The scroll function can be used to page through lists shown
on the screen, either line by line or page by page.
If the display “ Off Road” appears on the screen, it means you are located on
a non-digitalised street, e.g. on a farm tr ack. The GPS satellites will not be
able to reach your antenna when you are in a tunnel or underground garage,
meaning that the unit orientates itself via the wheel sensors. If you try to carry
out a route calculation in this situation you may hear the message: “You are
