(Atec a) Introduction
General information
The c
urr
ent
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 stor
ed therein. Traffic reports, if any, will
also be taken into account in the route calcu-
lation (dynamic route guidance
››› page 67). 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
certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but
simply a legal requirement.
Navigation messages When the Infotainment system is unable to
r
ec
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 area
s 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-
rors 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. 1)

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
navigation 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 ins
t
allation 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.
● Switch the ignition on.

Navigation announcements (audible recom-

Once the route has been calculated, the sys-

en to the last audible navigation instruc-
tion.
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 round
about, 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 button
››› Fig. 1 10 up to a predefined minimum or
m ax
imum
volume. The following navigation
recommendations will then be made at the
adjusted volume.
For other adjustments to the navigation rec-
ommendations, see Navigation an-
nouncements settings. ››› page 70. Note
If you miss a turning during route guidance
and are c urr
ently unable to turn back, keep

If during route guidance a traffic report is re-
ceived that affects the route being travelled,
an alternative route will be searched for if the
Infotainment system calculates that time can
be saved.
If it calculates that time will not be saved us-
ing the alternative route, it will continue on
the route with the traffic congestion. An an-
nouncement will be made in each case.
Shortly before arriving at the announced con-
gested traffic, it will be announced once
again.
Avoiding congestion by following the instruc-
tions of a traffic report does not always save
time as the alternate roads may be at a
standstill. The quality of the dynamic route
guidance depends on the information con-
tained in the traffic reports.
