Driving on flooded roads
To prevent damage to the vehicle driving on
flooded roads, take the following into ac-
count:
●
The water should never come above the
lower edge of the bodywork.
●
Drive at pedestrian speed.
WARNING
After driving through flooded zones, brak-
ing effectiveness can decrease if the brake
discs or pads are damp

page 244 .
CAUTION
●
Driving through flooded areas may dam-
age vehicle components such as the en-
gine, transmission or electrical system.
●
Whenever driving through water, the
Start-Stop system* must be switched off

Note
●
Check the depth of the water before en-
tering the flooded zone.
●
Do not stop in the water, drive in reverse,
or stop the engine.
●
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direc-
tion cause waves that could exceed your
vehicle's critical height.
●
Avoid driving through salt water (corro-
sion)

Trips abroad
●
With petrol vehicles, it should be ensured
that lead-free petrol is available throughout
the journey

page 285, Fuel types. Seek
information about service station networks
selling unleaded fuel.
●
In some countries, it is possible that your
vehicle is not sold and some spare parts may
not be available or the technical services
may only be able to make limited repairs.
CUPRA distributors and importers will pro-
vide information about the technical prepa-
ration that your vehicle requires and also
about necessary maintenance and repair
possibilities.
CAUTION
CUPRA does not accept liability for any
damage to the vehicle due to the use of a
lower quality fuel, an inadequate service or
the non-availability of genuine spare parts.
Driver assistance systems
General notes
Safety advice
WARNING
●
Responsibility for driving rests with the
driver at all times. The driver assistance
systems are not a replacement for driver
attention. Focus all your attention on driv-
ing and be prepared to intervene at all
times.
●
Use the driver assistance systems only
when conditions allow. The driving style
must always be suitable for the weather,
visibility, road and traffic conditions.
●
In order for driver assistance systems to
react correctly, sensors and cameras must
operate without limitations. Please read
the notes on sensors and cameras in this
chapter.
Note
●
Keep in mind the specific rules of each
country, especially when it comes to driv-
ing, formation of an emergency corridor,
braking distance, speed, parking position,
wheel position, etc. The driver is solely re-
sponsible for always complying with the
specific regulations of each country.
