Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobiliser helps to prevent
the engine from being started with an unau-
thorised key and, consequently, the vehicle
being put in motion.
The vehicle key has an integrated chip which
automatically deactivates the electronic im-
mobiliser if there is a valid key inside the pas-
senger compartment.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically ac-
tivated when there is no longer a valid key in-
side the vehicle.
For this reason, the engine can only be star-
ted with a correctly coded Original CUPRA key.
This type of key can be purchased from a spe-
cialised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT network
dealer.
NOTICE
The correct operation of the vehicle is only
guaranteed with original CUPRA keys.
