Possible limitations in navigation

●

Do not remove the memory card while

the navigation data is in use. This could

damage the memory card!

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.

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.

The navigation memory card may not be

used as memory for other files. The info-

tainment system will not recognise the files

SEAT recommends only using original

SEAT memory cards to use navigation data.

The use of other memory cards could limit

its operation.

The procedure is described on the internet at

www.seat.com.

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.
