Notes on road safetyOnly use the system when the traffic conditions allow you to 
do so safely.As well as offering full navigation functions, the SEAT navigation system with 
its numerous extra features also provides a wealth of in-car entertainment 
and a great deal of information about traffic and road conditions.
Carry out your settings in the navigation system only when the vehicle 
⇒page 115 is stationary. If you operate the navigation system while driving, 
you should always be aware of the current traffic situation and, if necessary, 
give your full concentration to road safety. When driving, make use of the 
multi-function steering wheel* whenever possible  ⇒page 14.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the driver, you 
bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, only use the SEAT naviga-
tion system when traffic conditions so permit, always remaining in control 
of the vehicle. If not, an accident may occur.•The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables 
you to hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade 
sirens. Failure to do so may cause an accident.•Always obey the laws concerning the use of telephones in vehicles!
