General operating information
Introduction
If system settings are modified, some aspects of the unit's operation may
differ from the descriptions given in this manual. For this reason, SEAT rec-
ommends that you reset the unit to its factory settings the first time you use
it ⇒ page 100.
Additional Information:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
● Multifunction steering wheel, to change track or station ⇒ Booklet Own-
er's Manual, chapter Vehicle overview
Note
Lightly pressing the buttons or briefly pressing the touchscreen is sufficient
to operate the unit.
Note
Never press a button down for longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise the sys-
tem will interpret this as a malfunction ( button jammed).
Note
Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected on
the screen when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
Note
Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
speakers.
Note
In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the vol-
ume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse gear
is engaged. If talking on the telephone through the radio and navigation
system, the volume of the conversation is also lowered automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.
Note
Restrictions on the use of devices using Bluetooth technology may be appli-
cable in some countries. Please ask your local authority for further informa-
tion. 
Switching on and off
With the ignition on, press the rotary/push knob 
⇒ Fig. 1 1 briefly to
manually switch the unit on or off.
When the unit is switched on, the system starts, and the last selected audio
source is played at the last selected volume, provided this is not greater
than the “start-up volume”.
When the key is removed from the ignition, the radio and navigation unit
automatically switches off. By pressing the rotary/push knob 
⇒ Fig. 1 1
,
the radio switches on and switches off automatically after approx. 30 mi-
nutes (switch-off delay), or manually if the rotary/push knob is pressed
again.
Anti-theft code
The anti-theft code is stored in the vehicle once it has been entered (con-
venience radio code). The anti-theft coding lock then only needs to be re-
leased manually if the unit is installed in another vehicle. In such a case, a
keypad field and a prompt to enter the code will appear when the unit is
switched on. In this case, you should contact a SEAT dealership. 

WARNING
Your attention may be distracted from the traffic if you use the radio and
navigation system while driving, resulting in accident.
● You should always drive with due care and attention.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● If the volume is too high, you could damage your hearing. Even if the
volume is too loud for a short period only.
CAUTION
If the volume is too high or the sound is distorted, the vehicle speakers may
be damaged.
Note
If the base volume has been turned up high to play an audio source
(e.g. due to very quiet audio output from an external audio source), lower
the volume again before switching audio source. 
Additional information and display options
The text displayed on the screen may vary depending on the settings and
may not match the illustrations shown here.
All displays appear only after the radio-navigation system has completed
start-up.
Depending on the vehicle, the changes to the air conditioning settings or
the texts relating to driver assistance systems fitted at the factory are dis-
played. These displays disappear automatically when they are no longer re-
quired. 

28Audio mode
When the DAB reception is poor, the unit tries to find and tune into the cor-
responding DAB station in the FM band.
As long as the station is broadcast through the FM band, (FM) is displayed
behind the station name. When the station can be found again in DAB, the
(FM) display disappears.
If the reception of a DAB station is poor and it cannot be found on FM either,
the radio volume is muted.
The DAB programme tracking function can be switched off if you do not wish
to change stations automatically, as the loss of signal is for a short time on-
ly, for example, when driving through a tunnel. 

48Navigation
If navigation data are unavailable or incomplete, the navigation system may
be unable to determine the exact vehicle position. As a result, the naviga-
tion may not be as exact as usual.
Navigation area and age of navigation data
The accuracy of the data (small villages, streets and house numbers) de-
pends on the respective version for the country.
Roads and streets are subject to constant change (e.g. new roads, changes
to street names and house numbers). After some time, navigation data will
no longer be up-to-date. This may lead to inaccurate or incorrect route guid-
ance.
In the case of small villages, they may have to be searched for as Points of
Interest (POI) rather than by their name.
Map updates and different map versions (East/West Europe) are available
through SD cards. Please consult a Technical Service. 
Updating the internal navigation data memory
Fig. 43 Navigation setup
menu. The navigation data for the vehicle sales zone are stored in the internal
memory of the navigation system. This data can be used directly for naviga-
tion.
It is also possible to navigate using navigation data stored in one of the
available SD cards (please consult a Technical Service), without needing to
download the data from the SD card to the internal memory of the navigator
(this option is recommended if temporarily using a navigation database:
e.g. different geographical areas).
The navigation data in the internal memory of the system can be updated
using the SD cards available (please consult a Technical Service). Please
note that if you upload data from the SD card to the internal memory of the
navigator, the data previously stored in this memory will be deleted and
cannot be recovered
(option recommended for updating cartography).
Updating navigation data
A memory card containing updated navigation data can be obtained from
an Technical Service.
● Cancel the mechanical protection against overwriting in the memory
card.
● Inserting the memory card ⇒ page 29.
If the inserted memory card contains valid navigation data, a window opens
asking whether you wish to permanently allocate the memory card to the ra-
dio navigation system.
Due to licensing legislation, when the copy has been completed, the memo-
ry card will be allocated to this radio and navigation system and can not be
used for other radio and navigation units.
● Press the Assign
function button to continue.
Information about the navigation data installed and available on the memo-
ry card is displayed.
● Press the function button Install
to start copying the information.
