NAV, INFONavigation (NAV)*General safety precautionsThe driver is completely responsible for traffic safety even
when driving with the navigation system active.Be sure that you always have complete control of your vehicle in all traffic situ-
ations when using navigation system functions.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers. Please
see ⇒page 6, “Notes on road safety”.•Pay attention to traffic rules 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 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)
