If the message “Device not functional ” appears, the communication between
the external data medium and the radio-navigation system is anomalous.
Check the connection and make sure the external data medium is ready for
use.
Note
•
Due to the large number of different data media and various iPod genera-
tions available, it is not possible to guarantee fault-free operation of all func-
tions described here.
•
The radio-navigation system does not automatically switch to playing of
an external data medium when it is connected to the multi-media interface or
when a connected data medium is switched on. It must be switched on in the
manner described.
•
If a MEDIA-IN multi-media interface is fitted, an additional option
( ) will appear in the Media settings ⇒ page 32, fig. 24 menu. The
additional AUX-IN socket is switched on by pressing this option, if it forms

Important information for operating CD
playersSafety precautions for equipment fitted with lasers Laser devices are classified by DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837 into safety
classes 1 to 4.
SEAT CD players conform to class 1.
The lasers used in class 1 units are low energy lasers, or are shielded in such
a manner that they present no danger when used correctly.
WARNING
•
The CD player is a class 1 laser product. If it is opened, there is a risk of
injury from invisible laser radiation.
•
The CD player contains no parts which you can service or repair by your-
self. You should, therefore, contact a qualified workshop if there is a
mechanical defect or if the CD player has to be repaired.
Tips on CD mode and handling data media
With the goal of guaranteeing optimum playback quality, try
not to use damaged, scratched or dirty data media.Cleaning a CD
Hold the CD at the sides. Avoid leaving fingerprints on the CD.
Use a soft, lint–free cloth to clean it. Wipe the disk in a straight line from the
centre outwards. Stubborn soiling can be removed with an ordinary CD
cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol.
Caution
•
Never use fluids such as petrol, paint thinner or record cleaner, as these
can damage the surface of the CD!
•
Use standard 12 cm CDs only. Special shape discs (sometimes called
“Shape CD”) or 8 cm “singles” cannot be played and they will damage the
player.
•
DVD-Plus, Dual Discs and Flip Discs are thicker than standard CDs and
must not be inserted into the unit.
•
Insert the CD into the CD slot to the point where it is pulled in automati-
cally.

NAV (navigation system) function selection button IntroductionGeneral points
Using sensors, the data received from the satellites and traffic
information, the best route is planned and the driver is
guided to the destination.How the system works
The current vehicle position is dete rmined by means of the GPS satellite
system (Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure
distances that have been driven. The values are compared to the detailed
map information contained in your navigation data and are corrected as
necessary with the support of TMC traffic reports ( TMC = Traffic Message
C hannel) ⇒page 80. With all of this data, an optimal route to the destination
is determined.
The audible navigation indications, the maps that appear on the navigation
equipment's screen and the arrows on th e instrument panel screen will help
you arrive at your destination in the easiest, safest way- as if you were accom-
panied by an invisible guide.
This enables you to drive to an address in an unfamiliar town, find the nearest
petrol station or be guided to a hotel, for example.
Operation
All of the unit's audio sources are fully available while you are navigating to a
destination
14). Navigation announcements are made at the preset volume
and interrupt the active audio mode. Th e volume of the current audio source will then be lowered so that you do not "miss" the navigation announcement
⇒
page 12, “Changing volume settings”.
Pressing the function selection button always switches straight to the
Navigation main menu. To display the vehicle position in the map view, press
the function button.
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 “St. Helens”.
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 announcement made can be repeated during route guidance by
pressing the setting knob ⇒page 3, fig. 1 . To also display the destina-
tion press the button. During a navigation indication, you can change the
volume by turning the volume knob .
Safety information on use of the navigation systemThe navigation system determines the position of the vehicle and its
heading, plus the distance and route to a selected destination. It takes into
account the traffic rules and regulations stored on the navigation data
medium ⇒. The system guides you using audible indications. Direction
arrows are also shown on the screen.
The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The route guidance
function is designed for cars and is thus unsuitable for larger commercial
vehicles.
14)Exception: when the internal CD drive is being used to navigate directly from a navi-
gation CD.

48The route is re-planned each time an indication is ignored or the vehicle
leaves the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Only after this oper-
ation will you be able to receive driving instructions again.
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio and navigation
system may not be available on the screen above a certain speed. This is not
an error, but rather compliance with the legal requirements of the country.
Errors in navigation
The navigation system cannot receive data from the GPS satellites if you are
driving for extended periods of time below leafy trees or if you enter into a
garage, underpass or tunnel. In these cases, the vehicle's sensors will be
used for orientation.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised on the data medium, the navi-
gation system will also attempt to carry out route guidance.
Note, however, that the route guidance may be partially incorrect if the
vehicle position cannot be accurately determined or ne-way streets and street
categories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially included in
the navigation data used.
WARNING
It is fundamental that you are suffic iently alert while driving. Any distrac-
tion may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•
Never lose visual contact with the ro ad in order to adjust or use the
radio and navigation system.
•
Use the radio and navigation system only when the state of the road,
the weather and traffic conditions permit.
•
When adjusting the volume, keep in mind that signals from outside the
vehicle, such as a police or fire brigade horn, must be audible at all times.
WARNING
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your radio and navigation system.•
The navigation system indications may be different from the actual
situation, due to, for example, construction or outdated navigation data. If
this is the case, ignore these indi cations and follow the traffic signs.
•
Traffic signs and legislation always have priority over the recommenda-
tions made by the system.
•
Even though information regarding one-way streets, pedestrian zones,
etc. is stored on the data medium, road traffic routing is subject to constant
changes. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking
and stopping restrictions or speed limi ts is not included in the radio and
navigation system.
•
Always try to adapt the speed of the vehicle to weather, road and traffic
conditions. Relying excessively on the radio and navigation system could
lead you, for example, to drive too fast in fog, which could result in an
accident.

Navigation data media: CD and memory cardsThe navigation data on the navi gation CDs should be copied
directly to a memory card to enable you to have complete use
of all functions of the radio-na vigation system with optimum
reading speed.
Data from several navigation CDs can be copied onto one memory
card. For this reason, make sure from the start that your memory
card has sufficient capacity ⇒page 50, “Available navigation
area”.
Inserting and ejecting navigation CDs
– Push the navigation CD with the printed side facing up into the CD slot to the point where it is automatically pulled in ⇒.
– It may take a moment for the unit to load the navigation data. Navigation will then be available for the area stored on the CD.
– Press the button to remove the navigation CD ⇒.
Copying data from the navigation CD onto a memory card
– To enable you to use navigation at optimal speed and to keep the CD drive free for audio CDs, the data on the navigation CD should
be copied onto a memory card inserted into the unit.

– Insert the navigation CD and wait for the unit to load the data.
– Insert a suitable memory card as described ⇒page 30.
– Press the function selection button and in the Navigation
main menu press the function selection button.
– Turn the setting knob ⇒page 3, fig. 1 until the
function button is marked and press the
setting knob to open the menu ⇒page 49, fig. 36 .
– Start the copying process by pressing the function buttons ⇒page 49, fig. 37 and . It takes roughly an
hour to copy one navigation CD to a memory card. The unit
should remain switched on during this time.
– The memory card must not be removed during the copying
process ⇒.
Copying more navigation CDs onto a memory card
– Insert a navigation CD for a different navigation area as described. If the inserted memory card already contains naviga-
tion data, a selection window will open.
– Press to copy the navigation data, adding them to the data already on the memory card.
– If you only intend to use the data on the navigation CD over a short period, press to start navigation from the CD
⇒page 50, “Available navigation area”.The unit can read data many times faster from a memory card than from a CD.
For this reason, any navigation data used regularly should be copied onto a
memory card ⇒page 50, “Available navigation area”. Make sure you store all navigation CDs safely in the vehicle, so that you have
a replacement medium in case the data on the memory card is “lost”. You can
then copy the navigation data on the navigation CDs onto another memory
card.
Copying process
Copying the navigation data onto the memory card can take up to an hour.
The navigation functions are
not available during the copying process.
The memory card must not be removed during the copying process ⇒.
A status message with a progress bar appears when the function selection
buttons or are pressed. In all other menus, a memory card symbol
in the top-left corner of the screen indicates the copying process.
It is also not possible to play audi o files from the memory card during the
copying process.
Available navigation area
The extent to which small villages, streets and house numbers are contained
on a navigation CD depends on the country the CD is supplied for.
If you leave the available navigation area, you will need another navigation
CD with the navigation data for the adjacent area.
You can copy the data from several navigation CDs onto one memory card.
The navigation data on the memory card will then be automatically “linked”
together by the navigation system. The data is “linked” on the basis of the
motorway network stored on the navigation CD.
We therefore recommend that you use a me mory card with sufficient capacity
from the start. The navigation data for western Europe requires roughly 4 GB
of memory ⇒page 25, “Memory card requirements”.
A memory card may also contain audio files.
The navigation data must be completely copied to the memory card, other-
wise it is not possible to navigate from the card. If there is not sufficient free
memory on the memory card, you may ha ve to remove some audio files from

If you are leaving the stored navigation area for a short period of time, you can
also navigate from a navigation CD in the CD drive ( ). The navigation
CD must remain in the CD drive for th e duration of route guidance. Please
note that it is not possible to link the navigation areas on the CD and the
memory card.

The function buttons are only enabled ⇒page 49, fig. 37 when a navigation
CD is inserted and the inserted memory card contains readable navigation
data.
– shows the navigation area and the version number of
the inserted navigation CD.
– shows the navigation data and the amount of memory
occupied by the navigation data on the memory card.

vidual sets of navigation data on the inserted memory card.
– following a confirmation prompt, starts the copying process
as described.
Compatibility of navigation CDs and memory cards
There are different generations of units in use in SEAT vehicles. The data
media for the different units are not interchangeable. You will need the navi-
gation CDs that are valid for your navigation system. Your SEAT dealership will
be pleased to help you find the right version.
For reasons of copyright, a radio-navigation system can only read navigation
data from a memory card if the data were copied onto the memory card by the
same unit.
Using an illegally recorded data medium will nearly always cause problems in
the navigation system. Age of the navigation data
The road layout is subject to constant modifications (for example, new
streets, changes to the names of the streets and the building number). Navi-
gation CDs contain a large amount of da
ta which, after some time, will unfor-
tunately no longer be up to date. This may cause problems during route guid-
ance.
For this reason, you should regularly update the navigation data you are
using. Your SEAT dealership has a selection of up-to-date navigation CDs.
WARNING
Refer to the notes on using CD players ⇒page 45.
Caution
•
Never remove a memory card while data is being copied to it. If you wish
to remove the memory card, you must fi rst cancel the copying process. To do
so, press the function selection button and then press in the
progress window. Wait until the process has finished. Removing the memory
card too early may destroy it.
•
Refer to other notes on handling data media ⇒page 45.
•
Please note that if the navigation CD or memory card is dirty or damaged,
it may be impossible to completely copy all required navigation data. This can
later seriously impair the speed and functions of the navigation system.
•
Please not that a dirty or damaged navigation CD or memory card can seri-
ously impair the speed and functions of the navigation system.Note
A radio-navigation unit can only read na vigation data from a memory card if
the data were copied onto the memory card by the same unit.
