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!

WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers. Please 
see  ⇒page 6, “Notes on road safety”.•Observe traffic regulations when driving. The route calculated by the 
navigation system is a recommendation of how best to reach a destination. 
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always 
take precedence. Pay attention to traffic lights, no-stopping signs, lane 
change restrictions, one-way streets, etc.Caution
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.
IntroductionIntroductionThe navigation system makes time-consuming map reading superfluous.
During route guidance you receive information on the dash panel display 
⇒ page 86, fig. 93  regarding vehicle position, turn-off information (direction 
and distance to turn-off) and estimated arrival time. Additionally, you receive 
spoken navigation information  ⇒page 87.
There are two possibilities for route guidance:•Route without stopover (single destination mode)•Route with stopovers (route plan)
Route without stopover (single destination mode)
In the single destination mode you can drive directly to a destination 
⇒ page 91.
Route with stopovers (route plan)
In the route with stopover mode ( ⇒page 92) you can enter up to six stopo-
vers and a final destination.
For example, when travelling you can save time by finding the nearest filling 
station in unfamiliar towns. You can also make a stopover to eat in a restau-
rant or visit a tourist attraction.
