Cool zone. The engine has not reached
operating temperature yet. Avoid high
engine speeds and stressing the engine if
it has not reached operating tempera-
ture.
Normal zone. At high outside tempera-
tures and when making the engine work
hard, the diodes may continue lighting
up and reach the upper zone. This is no
cause for concern, provided the control
lamp does not light up

B
Warning area. When the engine is work-
ing hard, especially at high outside tem-
peratures, the diodes may light up in the
warning area.
The coolant temperature gauge only works
when the ignition is switched on.

Do not carry on driving!
Engine coolant level too low, coolant temperature too
high.

Fault in the engine coolant system.
●
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
let it cool down.
●
Check the engine coolant level

●
If the warning lamp does not switch off
even if the coolant level is correct, request
assistance from specialised personnel.
CAUTION
●
To ensure a long useful life for the engine,
avoid high revs, driving at high speed and
making the engine work hard for approxi-
mately the first 15 minutes when the engine
is cold. The phase until the engine is warm
also depends on the outside temperature.

If necessary, use the engine oil tempera-
ture*

page 72 as a guide.
●
Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef-
fect of the coolant. At high outside temper-
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
●
The front spoiler also ensures proper dis-
tribution of the cooling air when the vehi-
cle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this
can reduce the cooling effect, which could
cause the engine to overheat. Seek special-
ist assistance.
Service intervals
The service interval display appears on the
instrument cluster screen and in the info-
tainment system.
There are different versions of instrument
panels and infotainment systems, so the ver-
sions and instructions on the screens may
vary.
CUPRA distinguishes between services with
engine oil change (e.g. Oil change service)
and services without engine oil change (e.g.
Inspection).
In vehicles with Services established by
time or mileage, the service intervals are al-
ready pre-defined.
