take precedence. Pay attention to traffic lights, no-stopping signs, lane 
change restrictions, one-way streets, etc.Caution

IntroductionIntroductionThe SEAT navigation system can help you reach your destination without 
spending a lot of time studying maps.
During route guidance you receive information in the navigation system 
display  ⇒fig. 114  and instrument panel display  ⇒page 99, fig. 116  
regarding vehicle position, turn-off information (direction and distance to 
turn-off), remaining distance to destination and estimated arrival time. Addi-
tionally, you receive spoken navigation information ⇒ page 100.
There are two possibilities for route guidance:•Route without stopover (single destination mode)•Route with stopovers (route plan)
