General information
The current vehicle position is determined by
means of the GPS satellite system (Global Po-
sitioning System). Sensors in the vehicle
measure distances that have been driven.
The measurement values are compared with
the detailed map data and the road informa-
tion stored therein. Traffic reports, if any, will
also be taken into account in the route calcu-
lation (dynamic route guidance
››› page 50). Using all the data available,
the Infotainment system calculates the opti-
mum route to the destination.
The destination is defined by entering an ad-
dress or a point of interest, e.g. a petrol sta-
tion or hotel.
Spoken instructions and visual guidance on
the navigation unit and on the instrument
panel will direct you to your destination.
Depending on the country, some infotain-
ment system functions can no longer be se- lected when the vehicle is travelling above a
cer
t

ain speed. This is not a malfunction, but
simply a legal requirement.
Navigation messages When the Infotainment system is unable to
rec
eiv

e any data from GPS satellites (due to a
dense tree canopy, underground car park),
navigation can still continue using the vehi-
cle sensors.
Possible navigation limitations
In areas that are not or are only partially digi-
tised on the data storage device (e.g. insuffi-
cient definition of one-way streets and road
categories), the Infotainment system will still
attempt to provide route guidance.
If navigation data are unavailable or incom-
plete, the navigation system may be unable
to determine the exact vehicle position. As a
result, the navigation may not be as exact as
usual.
Navigation area and updating of navigation
data
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, changes to street
names and building numbers). Therefore, if the navigation data is not updated, then er-
ror
s

or inaccuracies may occur during guid-
ance.
SEAT recommends updating navigation data
on a regular basis. Up to date navigation da-
ta can be acquired at a SEAT dealer.
Use navigation data from a memory
card. 3 On
ly available for the model: Navi System
The SD c

ard is initially to be found inserted in
SD card slot 2.
To update navigation data visit our website:
www.seat.com.
● Insert the memory card ›››
page 32 .
● Do not remove the memory card while test-
ing. W
ait for the testing icon to disappear.
If the inserted memory card contains valid
navigation data, the following message ap-
pears: “The source contains a valid naviga-
tion database”. It is now possible to navigate
with the memory card data. When the memo-
ry card is no longer needed by the hardware,
it will be prepared for removal ›››
page 32. 1)
Valid for: Navi System and Navi System Plus.

available for the model: Navi System Plus
The Inf
otainment system is equipped with an
internal navigation data memory. The re-
quired navigation data are already installed
on the system. The Infotainment system always requires the
nav
ig

ation data that is currently valid for this
unit in order to allow all functions to be used
in full. Using an old version may lead to er-
rors during navigation.
Updating navigation data
To update navigation data visit our website:
www.seat.com.
The navigation data must be installed after
downloading. Navigation is not possible from
the memory card.
Installing navigation data
The installation process takes about 2 hours.
If the Infotainment system is switched off, the
installation process is paused and will auto-
matically resume when switched back on.

correspond to the 3 route options that can be
selected: Economical, Fast and Short.
Route criteria: Meaning
Blue route: Economical route, the route is calculated by taking into consideration economic factors.
Red route: Fastest route to the destination, even if it is
necessary to make a deviation.
Orange route: Shortest route to the destination, even if it
results in longer travelling time. The route may have un-
conventional sections such as secondary roads. ●

before a turn, e.g. “Prepare to turn left”,
“T urn l
ef
t in 300 metres” and “Now turn left”.
● Press the right-hand thumbwheel on the
multi-fu
nction steering wheel to listen to the
last navigation instruction.
The distances indicated largely depend on
the type of road and the speed at which you
are driving. For instance, navigation an-
nouncements are given much earlier on mo-
torways than on urban roads.
Appropriate navigation announcements are
also given on multi-lane roads, branching
roads and at roundabouts, for example: “At
the roundabout, take the second exit.”
A navigation announcement informs you
when you have reached your “destination”.
A navigation announcement informing you
that you have reached the “destination area”
is given if the exact destination cannot be
reached because it is located in a non-digi-
tised area. It also indicates the cardinal point
and the distance to the previously defined
destination. Navigation resumes “offroad”.
During dynamic route guidance , you receive
information about reported traffic congestion
on the route. An additional navigation an-
nouncement is given if the route is recalcula-
ted due to traffic congestion.
During a navigation announcement, you can
change its volume using the volume control  up to a defined minimum or maximum vol-
ume. The f

ollowing navigation recommenda-
tions will then be made at the adjusted vol-
ume.
For other adjustments to the navigation rec-
ommendations, see Navigation an-
nouncements settings. ››› page 53. Note
If you miss a turning during route guidance
and are c urr

ently unable to turn back, keep
on driving until the navigation system offers
a new route. Note
The quality of the navigation recommenda-
tions giv

en by the Infotainment system de-
pends on the navigation data available and
