Instructions for navigation When the Infotainment system is unable to re-
ceive any dat
a fr
om GPS satellites (due to a
dense tree canopy, underground car park),
navigation can still continue using the vehicle
sensors.
Possible limitations in navigation
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.
Navigation area and updating 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 data
can be downloaded from www.seat.com or
acquired at a SEAT dealer. Updating and using navigation da-
ta fr
om an SD car

d  Only available for the model: Navi System
The Inf ot

ainment 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 errors
during navigation.
Updating navigation data
The current navigation data can be downloa-
ded in the internet at www.seat.com and stor-
ed in a SD card compatible with the unit.
Suitable SD Cards can be acquired at SEAT
dealerships.
The procedure is described on the internet at
www.seat.com.

building up in the engine compartment af-
ter it has been s

ched off; this could
cause engine damage. For this reason, you
should idle the engine for approximately 2
minutes before you switch it off. Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
f an may run on f or up t

o 10 minutes, even if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation. Starter button*

After switching off the engine, the cooling

with the ignition off. The radiator fan is au-
tomatically switched off. “My Beat” Function
For vehicles with a convenience key there is
the “My Beat” function. This f
eat
ur

e provides
an additional indication of the vehicle ignition
system.
When accessing the vehicle, e.g. by opening
the doors with the remote control, the START ENGINE STOP button flashes, calling at-
t ention t
o the r

elevant starter system button.
Upon switching the ignition on/off, the light of
the START ENGINE STOP button flashes. With
the engine s wit
ched off

, after a few seconds,
the STOP ENGINE START button stops flashing
and goes out.
With the engine running, the S T
AR

T ENGINE STOP button light stays on, indi-
cating that the engine is running. The time
that l apses betw
een the moment the user
st

arts the engine with the START ENGINE STOPbutton and the lighting changes from flashing to fixed will depend on specific engine size
char
act
eristics. Upon s

witching the ignition
off with the START ENGINE STOP button, it starts
fl ashing again.
In v ehicl

es with the Start-Stop system, the
“My Beat” function also offers additional in-
formation:

Corrosion
Ther e may be a t
endency f
or corrosion to
form on the discs and dirt to build up on the
brake pads if the vehicle is used infrequently
or the brakes are not used very often.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if rust
has formed on the disks, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and disks by braking firmly
a few times at a moderately high speed

Start and driving
vehicle can still be driven. The EDL will switch
on again aut omatically when the br
ak
e has
cooled down.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation*
If the vehicle is pulling a trailer, it will control
the following: tractor-trailers tend to sway.
When the swaying of the trailer is felt by the
vehicle and detected by the ESC, it will auto-
matically brake the towing vehicle within the
limits of the system and mitigate the sway.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation is not available
in all countries.
Electronic torque management (XDS)
When taking a curve, the driveshaft differen-
tial mechanism allows the outer wheel to turn
at a higher speed than the inner wheel. In this
way, the wheel that is turning faster (outer
wheel) receives less drive torque than the in-
ner wheel. This may mean that in certain sit-
uations the torque delivered to the inner
wheel is too high, causing the wheels to spin.
On the other hand, the outer wheel is receiv-
ing a lower drive torque than it could transmit.
This causes an overall loss of lateral grip on
the front axle, resulting in understeer or
“lengthening” of the trajectory.
The XDS system can detect and correct this
effect via the sensors and signals of the ESC.
Via the ESC, the XDS will brake the inside
wheel and counter the excess driving torque of that wheel. This means that the driver
