NAV, INFONavigation (NAV)*General safety precautionsThe driver is completely responsible for traffic safety even
when driving with the navigation system active.Be sure that you always have complete control of your vehicle in all traffic situ-
ations when using navigation system functions.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers. Please
see ⇒page 6, “Notes on road safety”.•Pay attention to traffic rules when driving. The route calculated by the
navigation system is a recommendation of how best to reach a destination.
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always
take precedence. Pay attention to traffic lights, no-stopping signs, lane
change restrictions, one-way streets, etc.Caution
The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables you to
hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade sirens.
Failure to do so may cause an accident.
IntroductionIntroductionThe SEAT navigation system can help you reach your destination without
spending a lot of time studying maps.
During route guidance you receive information in the navigation system
display ⇒fig. 114 and instrument panel display ⇒page 99, fig. 116
regarding vehicle position, turn-off information (direction and distance to
turn-off), remaining distance to destination and estimated arrival time. Addi-
tionally, you receive spoken navigation information ⇒ page 100.
There are two possibilities for route guidance:•Route without stopover (single destination mode)•Route with stopovers (route plan)

– Wait until you reach one of the countries that is covered by both
DVDs. These countries serve as an overlap zone where you can
change the DVDs.
– Without stopping the route guidance, put the DVD for the country of your destination into the navigation drive once again
⇒page 23. Route guidance will be continued automatically.When navigating with two different DVDs, please note the following:•The destination flag will be displayed to indicate the direct line between
your starting point and your destination.•The system does not process the detailed navigation information on the
DVD which is not being used.•Some countries are covered by both DVDs. We recommend that you
change over the DVDs in good time before leaving this overlap zone.Note
•The packaging of the navigation DVD will indicate which countries are
covered by the DVD.•The traffic infrastructure is subject to changes. Therefore, the information
stored on the navigation DVD may not always correspond exactly to the roads
and other features that you encounter.•You can obtain navigation DVDs from your dealer. Your dealer will also be
able to provide information on updates which are available for the CDs.
Navigation route guidanceRoute guidance assistance is given with both visual and spoken cues:•with voice messages ⇒page 100•through the screen in the navigation system display ⇒fig. 115
( ⇒ page 101)•through the instrument panel display ⇒fig. 116 (⇒ page 101)

Note•If you do not follow the calculated route or if you leave the route, the
system will automatically calculate a new route plan based on your current
location.•You can also start a route guidance in demo mode ⇒page 139 for simu-
lation purposes.Navigation system voice guidanceRoute calculation is announced with a voice message. During this time, “The
route is being calculated” is shown on the navigation system display and
“CALC” is shown on the instrument panel display.
When route calculation is complete, guidance is given by spoken driving
instructions and symbols. Driving recommendations are always made with
eno ugh time to make a turn. An announcement is made in different stages in
preparation for a change of direction.
You can use the following options to repeat the last navigation voice
message:•Press the Nav-Info control button ⇒page 130 if you are not in the Nav-
Info submenu or•Press the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel*
⇒ page 12.
You can change the language for the voice messages if desired ⇒ page 154.Caution
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always take
precedence.
Note
•You can adjust the volume of the voice guidance prompts as they are
being announced using the on/off button ⇒page 9 on the navigation control
console or the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel*
⇒ page 12.•If the vehicle is in a location which cannot be read by the navigation
system (car park, garage), a voice message will inform you.Dynamic navigation
The dynamic navigation function calculates routes based on
the currently available TMC traffic messages.These TMC traffic messages are sent by TMC (Traffic Message Channel) radio
stations in addition to regular programming and are received and processed
by the navigation system. The reception of TMC traffic messages is free of
charge in Germany.
If the dynamic navigation function ⇒page 121 is activated, the system
constantly checks if relevant TMC messages are available for the set route. If
the navigation system then determines that a TMC traffic message is relevant
for the current route, the system will automatically calculate a new route plan
to the destination.
Note
•The quality of the dynamic navigation function depends largely on the
quality of the TMC traffic messages. Please note that the TMC messages sent
by the radio stations may not always be complete and correct.•For more information regarding TMC traffic messages, please refer to
⇒ page 141.
