Trips abroad
The vehicle has been manufactured for a spe-
cic country and meets the approval regula-
tions in force in that country at the time it was
manufactured.
If you are going to use the vehicle abroad tem-
porarily or for a short period of time, please
observe the relevant instructions.
Some countries have special safety regulations
and provisions that the vehicle may not comply
with. Before travelling abroad, CUPRA recom-
mends that you seek information from one of
your dealers about the legal provisions in force
in your destination country.
If you are going to sell the vehicle in another
country or use it there for a longer period of
time, please observe the legal regulations in
force in the country in question.
In some cases it may be necessary to install or
remove certain equipment at a later date, and
to deactivate certain functions. Sets and types
of services may also be aected. In particular,
this can occur if the vehicle is to be used in an-
other climatic region for a long period of time.
Due to the dierent frequency bands around
the world, the factory-tted infotainment sys-
tem may not work in another country.
With petrol vehicles, it should be ensured that
lead-free petrol is available throughout the
journey. Seek information about service sta-
tion networks selling unleaded fuel.
Due to the
dierent technical standards that
exist, it may not be possible to charge the
high-voltage battery at charging stations in
other countries, or it may only be possible with
a suitable charging cable. You can get more
information from a specialised CUPRA dealer
or any SEAT network dealer.
WARNING
As altitude increases, air density decreases.
Due to the reduced air density, engine per-
formance may be reduced and vehicle com-
ponents may be damaged during prolonged
operation at very high altitudes. Reduced en-
gine power can lead to accidents and serious
or fatal injuries, e.g. when overtaking.
●
Before travelling abroad, especially at alti-
tudes above 3,000m (approx. 9,843ft) above
sea level, please contact a specialised CUPRA
dealer or any dealer in the SEAT network for
more information.
NOTICE
●
CUPRA cannot be held liable for any dam-
age to the vehicle due to insuicient work or
of lack of availability of genuine spare parts.
●
CUPRA accepts no liability if the vehicle
does not meet the legal requirements in
force in other countries and continents, or
if it only partially meets them.
Starting and stopping the
engine
Switching the ignition on/o
Fig.118 Starter button
The engine can be started with a start button
(Press & Drive). For this there must be a valid
key inside the passenger compartment.
The button is found at the bot-
tom of the centre console or, depending on
the version, on the multi-function steering
wheel.
Opening the driver's door when exiting the ve-
hicle activates the electronic lock on the steer-
ing column if the ignition is switched o. For
vehicles with automatic transmission, the col-
umn will only be locked if the parking lock P is
activated.
