As many as 99 tracks can be shown, although all those contained in the
folder can be played
A title with three figures will not show the hundreds on the screen, only the
last two.
The music can be controlled via the radio keys. Choosing and playing songs,
fast forward and rewind and random playback are described in the radio
manual of your vehicle.
If there are folders in the root directory individual files will not be played, so
all data in the root directory should be in folders
Storing files in a memory stick or MP3 player
Store files in folders instead of using th e root directory of the memory stick or
player. In this way the songs can be stored in order (eg all the songs in a
certain style in the same folder).
The function keys to of the radio can only select the first 5 folders.
If there are more than 6 folders in the memory stick or MP3 player their
content cannot be played.
The folders can be subdivided into subf olders eg different albums by an
artist.
Example of a music folder structure:
Playback of music via USB connection
Connect the memory stick or MP3 player with the USB extension cable to the
USB port.
The screen will show the first 6 folders detected by the USB port, displayed as
CD 1 to CD 6 . Folders without music files will not be included.
If there are more than 6 music folders in the device, the exact number of
folders can be shown using the CD options. If the music files are not classified into folders, but stored directly in the root
directory, the radio will read the files and play them in the same order. The
display then shows
CD 1.
Music files and folders will be played in alphabetical order, so files begin-
niing woth numbers will be se lected first, before those with letters. A file with
the name 1XXXXXXXX will be played before another with the name AAAAAA.
Screen indications
When selecting a music file with the CD keys, it appears iin the radio equip-
ment screen Track 1.
As many as 99 tracks can be shown.
WARNING
Please keep your attention on driving as a priority!•
Adjust the volume so that external no ise can be heard at all times, such
as police, fire and emergency services sirens.
•
Never remove the memory stick or MP3 player when driving.Note
•
Before turning off the engine, the USB port memorises the position of the
song playing As long as the content is not changed, the system will start
again from this point.
•
If many songs are skipped, there may be a delay during playback.
•
The detection of the memory stick or MP3 playere requires a few seconds
depending on the type of memory used.
•
The title of the song is not shown on the screen.

Navigation
34Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined using 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. Thanks to the detailed information on the navigation CD
the measurements values are compared and if necessary they are updated
using the traffic reports ( TMC = Traffic Message Channel). An optimal route to
the destination is determined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen and on
the instrument panel
7) guide you safely and conveniently to your destina-
tion. 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 po sition 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 ca rs 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.

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 follow the instructions of the navigation
system exclusively.

Note
•
Note that a soiled or damaged navigation CD may negatively effect the
functions of the navigation system.
•
The extent to which small villages, streets and house numbers are
contained on the CD depends on the CD version.
•
You will need a new navigation CD for every country that you travel to.
•
The content of the CD is constantly being updated. You will receive infor-
mation on new updates at your next SEAT Official Service.
•
The navigation functions are limited if no navigation CD is inserted
⇒ page 56, “The destination guide without the navigation CD”.
General notesYou can continue to listen to the radio or CD whilst you are being guided to
your destination. Further informat ion can be found in the chapter ⇒page 56,
“The destination guide without the navigation CD”.
When entering an address (town, street), only those letters or symbols which
make up a logical entry 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.

36The last audio instruction can be repeated by pushing the button. The
volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is being
made.
If the display Off Road appears on the screen, it means you are on a route not
recorded on the CD, e.g. on a dirt road. 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 t his situation you may hear an announcement indi-
cating that you are located on a street for which no digital record exists. Drive
on until the display Off Road disappears.
