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 sufficiently alert while driving. Any distrac-
tion may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•Never lose visual contact with the road 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situation, due to, for example, construction or outdated navigation data.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 indications 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 limits 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.

the card using a suitable device or use a different memory card. For how to
display the remaining memory capacity, please see page 31, “Displaying
the memory card status”.
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 the duration of route guidance. Please
note that it is not possible to link the navigation areas on the CD and the
memory card.
Other function buttons
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.
– opens a menu in which you can delete all or indi-
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 data 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 first 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 navigation data from a memory card if
the data were copied onto the memory card by the same unit.

Contents of the map view
The
 symbol indicates the vehicle's position and heading page 76,
fig. 67 .
During route guidance the navigation route is shown as a blue line. The next
road to take is displayed in the top line of the screen.
While the function buttons are not displayed page 76, fig. 68 , the road you
are currently on appears in the bottom line.
The remaining distance to the final destination is displayed next to
 on the
left in the bottom line of the screen and, depending on the settings, either the
expected time of arrival or the remaining driving ti me is displayed on the right
next to
\f  page 83, “Changing the time display”.
Shortly before you reach a turning point, a turning arrow appears on the left
of the screen indicating the direction to turn. The distance to the turning point
is displayed below it.
If the vehicle position symbol
 turns grey and the map view stops moving,
the unit is currently unable to determine the vehicle's exact position (for
example, in a car park).
Navigation announcements during the journey
You will hear the first announcement after the route has been calculated, for
example, “Follow the layout of the road”. Up to three announcements will be
made before a turn has to be made to ensure that you are informed in time,
for example, “Approaching left turn”, “Turn left in 1000 feet” and “Now turn
left”.
The distances indicated depend in large part on the type of road on which you
are driving. On motorways, the first announcement is given some 2,000
metres before an exit.
On multiple-lane roads that fork, the corresponding messages are emitted,
for example, “Approaching left turn” and then “Now turn left”.
Some 1000 feet before entering a roundabout, you will be told which exit to
use, for example, “Leave at the second exit”. In a roundabout, the indication may be “Turn at the second right”. In the case of a large roundabout, a third
announcement “Turn right now” will be given while you are on the rounda-
bout.
When you reach your destination, you will hear the announcement: “You have
reached the destination”.
If the option “Dynamic route” is ticked in the route options, you will be
informed of any reported traffic congestion along your route
page 74. You
will receive an additional announcement if the route is recalculated due to
traffic congestion  page 80.
A corresponding message will be given if you have manually excluded route
sections page 79.
Settings for audible navigation indications
During a navigation announcement, you can change the volume using the
volume control page 3, fig. 1 up to a defined minimum or maximum
volume. Subsequent audible indica tions will be emitted at that volume.
You can also adjust or switch off the preset navigation announcement volume
in the Navigation settings menu page 82 or in the menu for volume
settings page 12 or even suppress the sound.
WARNING
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your radio and navigation system.•It is fundamental that you are sufficiently alert while driving. Any
distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•Always observe the safety information on the use of the navigation
system  page 47.
