Navigation Introduction to navigation
Introduction
General information
The current vehicle position is determined by means of the GPS system
(Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances driv-
en. The measurement values are adapted using the detailed information
from the navigation data medium maps and according to the stored traffic
management. Where applicable, the TMC traffic reports are included in the
route calculation ⇒ page 71. The navigation system uses these data to
determine an optimal route to the destination.
The destination is defined by entering an address or a point of interest, e.g.
a petrol station or hotel.
Navigation announcements and visual guidance on the navigation unit and
the instrument panel direct you to your destination ⇒ page 64.
Depending on the country, some radio-navigation system functions can no
longer be selected when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed. This
is not a malfunction, but simply a legal requirement.
Navigation data
At the close of this edition, SEAT has two different versions of radio and nav-
igation system “SEAT MEDIA SYSTEM 2.2”, one for Western Europe and one
for Eastern Europe, with and without DAB respectively ⇒ page 24.
In normal circumstances, all the necessary navigation data is already stored
in the navigator. The maps stored in the system (Western Europe or Eastern
Europe Version) depend on the country in which the vehicle is sold. SD cards with the different maps offered by SEAT or with the annual map up-
dates can be obtained through the SEAT Technical Service. Please ask your
SEAT dealership ⇒ page 48.

Note
Dirty or damaged navigation data media may lead to problems when copy-
ing navigation information or even in the navigation itself. Store unused da-
ta media in a suitable container or in the original box to protect them from
mechanical damage, heat, humidity or direct sunlight. 
Limitations of the navigation function
Possible errors in navigation
If the navigation system is not able to receive data from the GPS satellites
(dense vegetation, underground garage), it is still possible to navigate us-
ing the vehicle sensory analysis.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised on the data medium (e.g. in-
sufficient definition of one-way streets and road categories), the navigation
system will still attempt to provide route guidance. 

Telephone control (Phone)
Introduction
Introduction
The telephone functions described below may be controlled using the radio
and navigation system, and by voice control, provided that there is a mobile
phone switched on and with the BT function on. In addition, the mobile
must be connected and paired via Bluetooth to the radio and navigation
system.
For the connection between the mobile phone and the radio and navigation
system, the mobile phone must have Bluetooth®
and it must be activated.
If no mobile phone is connected to the radio and navigation system, tele-
phone control from the navigator and voice control will not be available.
● Pair and connect the mobile phone to the radio and navigation system
⇒ page 79.
When the mobile phone has been paired with the navigation system, the
phone can be controlled via the navigation system and the multifunction
controls on the steering wheel using the vehicle instrument panel. Func-
tions available include making calls in hands-free mode, access to the mo-
bile phone book, access to the list of calls received, missed and recently di-
alled, and control of these functions using the voice recognition system.
The hands-free device means that the telephone can be used inside the ve-
hicle; the driver will not have to remove their hands from the steering wheel
nor will be distracted from traffic.
Please observe instructions concerning the use of mobile phones in vehi-
cles without an external aerial ⇒ page 78.
WARNING
Telephone calls and the use of the mobile phone pre-installation while
driving may distract the driver from the road and result 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.
● Your call may be cut off or you may be unable to make calls if you are
in an area with no mobile phone network coverage, an area where the
network is very weak or, in some cases, in a tunnel, garage or underpass.
This also means that no emergency calls can be made.
WARNING
If your mobile phone is loose and is not securely fastened, it could be
thrown around the vehicle interior in the event of sudden braking, sharp
movements or accident and cause injury to passengers.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always secure the mobile phone prop-
erly outside the airbag deployment zone.
WARNING
Mobile phones may affect the operation of pacemakers. Always maintain
a suitable distance between the phone and the pacemaker.
● Maintain a gap of roughly 20 centimetres between the aerials of the
mobile phone and the pacemaker, as mobile phones may affect the func-
tioning of pacemakers. 

78Telephone control (Phone)
New models of mobile phone are continually being launched on the market.
These are developed by different manufacturers, use different operating
systems and operate in different ways. Therefore, some mobile phones are
unable to correctly perform the functions described, or are totally incompati-
ble with the radio and navigation system.
Depending on the model of phone, some functions may not be available or
may require the phone configuration to be changed. Familiarise yourself
with your mobile phone and with the radio and navigation unit. Please read
the mobile phone manual carefully to determine the available options.
To help you when choosing a mobile phone, SEAT offers the results of the
compatibility tests on different mobile phones. Visit the SEAT web page or
ask your dealership for further information.
Even when a mobile phone is shown as compatible in the SEAT lists, it may
not work correctly when paired with the radio and navigation system, due to
the SW version of the mobile phone. In this case, we recommend you up-
date the telephone software. Mobile phone manufacturers usually make up-
dates available on Internet for their customers in order to improve the work-
ing of the phone. 
Using a mobile phone in the vehicle
Mobile phones send and receive radio waves, both during a call and while
on stand-by. Some scientific studies claim that radio waves above certain
values may be harmful to the human body. The authorities and international
committees have defined limits and directives to ensure that electromag-
netic radiation from mobile telephones remains within limits which are not
harmful to human health. Nevertheless, there is no conclusive scientific evi-
dence that wireless telephones are totally safe.
Therefore, some experts recommend moderate use of mobile phones until
the results of further research currently underway are published. If a mobile phone is used inside the vehicle without first connecting it to the
vehicle telephone exterior aerial, electromagnetic radiation may be greater
than if the mobile phone had been connected to a built-in or exterior aerial.
If the vehicle has a suitable hands-free device, it complies with legislation
in many countries where the use of mobile phones within the vehicle is only
permitted using a hands-free device.
The factory-mounted hands-free system has been designed for use with
conventional mobile phones and mobile phones with Bluetooth technology.
Mobile phones must be mounted on a suitable support. This support must
be securely inserted into the base plate. This ensures that the mobile phone
is securely attached to the instrument panel, it is always within reach of the
driver and is connected to the vehicle exterior aerial.
Connecting the mobile phone to a built-in or exterior aerial, helps to reduce
the levels of electromagnetic radiation affecting the human body. The quali-
ty of the connection is also improved.
If the mobile phone is used inside the vehicle without the hands-free sys-
tem, the phone will not be securely attached to the instrument panel, nor
will it be connected to the vehicle exterior aerial. In addition, the mobile
phone will not charge through the support. On-going calls may also be in-
terrupted and the quality of the connection affected.
Only use your mobile phone inside the vehicle if it is connected to a hands-
free system with an exterior aerial.
WARNING
A loose or incorrectly attached phone could be thrown around the vehicle
interior in the event of sudden braking, sharp movements or accident and
cause injury to passengers.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always secure the mobile phone prop-
erly outside the airbag deployment zone. 

98Telephone control (Phone)
If the language selected through the instrument panel is available in the ra-
dio and navigation system, the language in both systems becomes the se-
lected language.
If the language is modified through the instrument panel, the selected lan-
guage may not be available in the radio and navigation system. In this case,
the voice recognition system uses the default language (defined according
to the country in which the vehicle is sold), and there may be different lan-
guages in each system. It is not a malfunction. 
