Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined us ing sensors, satellites and
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her desti-
nation.The current vehicle position is determined using a system of satellites (GPS -
Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances that
have been driven. Measured values are compared using the detailed map
material on the navigation CD and corrected with the assistance of TMC traffic
announcements as necessary. An optimal route to the destination is deter-
mined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen and in
the instrument panel* guide you safely and conveniently to your destination.
You can drive to a given address in towns you are unfamiliar with, or drive to
the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.

SafetyThe navigation system determines the position of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also shown on the
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The desti-
nation guide function is designed for cars and is thus unsuitable for larger
commercial vehicles.
WARNING
•
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your navigation system.

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

Position display
The current information on the position of the vehicle is
shown here.
GPS status (number of satellite re ceptions, positioning mode) including
the direction and distance to destin ation (with active route guidance).
Direction of travel
Altitude (GPS altitude). If too few satellites are received to calculate the
altitude, the display is grey.

GPS position (longitude)

GPS position (latitude)
The direction of travel is shown in degr ees and also in the form of a compass.
The GPS status shows the number of satellites as dots and also shows the
positioning mode (NO FIX, 2D FIX, 3D FIX).
•
NO FIX – The GPS reception is not sufficient to fix the position of the
vehicle.
•
If the position definition for NO FIX is only possible using the wheel
sensors (underground garage etc), the GPS coordinates will be displayed in
grey. The GPS coordinates will no longer be shown following a long distance
with NO FIX in the display or if it is not possible to determine the position.
•
2D FIX – The horizontal position of the vehicle can be determined, but not
the altitude (altitude display is grey).
•
3D FIX – Position and altitude can be determined.
The altitude may oscillate between 0 m and +5000 m with a margin of error of
± 15 m. The exactness varies in function of the GPS reception quality or of the
climatic conditions.
The direction to the destination is shown in the form of a marking outside the
compass. If the destination is not in the area displayed by the compass (i.e.
to the side or behind the vehicle), the marking is shown as an arrow to the
side in question.
