This may occur due to the following condi-
tions:
●
Very low state of charge of the high-volt-
age battery.
–
The control lamp comes on while the
vehicle is moving. From this moment on-
wards, the vehicle can be started twice
›››page151.
If traic conditions permit, move the vehicle
onto the right hand side of the road and park
it safely, or go to a charging station if possi-
ble.
●
Temperature and state of charge of the
high-voltage battery.
–
The control lamp turns on before the drive
system is switched on. Only manoeuvring is
possible (at a speed of up to 7km/h [4mph]).
CUPRA recommends that you charge the
high-voltage battery and prepare the car for
departure ›››page143.
Note
If you are planning to depart in low out-
side temperatures, CUPRA recommends
pre-heating the vehicle while it is parked
›››page142. Doing so also heats up
the high-voltage battery. This increases the
available power.
Limited power. Check the manual
The control lamp lights up yellow to warn you
that the power has decreased signicantly and
may decrease further.
A message is displayed in the Digital Cockpit
and an audible warning sounds.
The air conditioning comfort functions are re-
stricted ›››page133.
As soon as the battery power increases again,
the control lamp turns o.
Depending on the state of charge, CUPRA rec-
ommends:
●
When the state of charge is low, the high-
voltage battery must be charged.
●
With a high state of charge and very high
or low outside temperatures, the high voltage
battery heats up or cools down while driving.
After a certain amount of time, the available
power increases again.
