Start and driving
cannot defect that the vehicle's drive system
is on b
y engine noise. Inst
ead, the following
characteristics show that the vehicle is ready
to drive:
●
The power display on the instrument clus-
ter displays

page 77 .
●
The display light on the instrument cluster
is on, regardless of whether the vehicle’s ex-
terior lighting is on.
●
The indicator lamp on the instrument clus-
ter switches on .
●
An audio signal is heard.
Switching on the drive system in very low
outside temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low (ap-
proximately -27°C (-16°F) or lower), the high-
voltage battery may freeze and stop working.
In this case it's not possible to switch on the
drive system.
As soon as the temperature of the high-volt-
age has increase enough, the drive system
can be switched on again.
To ensure that the drive system can be
switched on, even in very low outside tem-
peratures, CUPRA recommends parking the
vehicle in a place protected from the cold.
Note
A click is heard when the drive system is
turned on. This is completely normal and
does not mean there is a problem.
Vehicle sound
3 Valid for: hybrid vehicles
The electric driv
e makes much less noise
than a combustion engine. In the versions
for some countries, artificial vehicle sound is
generated to allow the vehicle to be heard
better from the outside. At higher speeds,
when the noise produced by the tyres and
the wind increases, the vehicle's sound auto-
matically fades out.
WARNING
During electric driving, the auditory per-
ception of the vehicle by other road users
may be much lower. This is especially true
in traffic-restricted areas and when ma-
noeuvring or reversing. Accident hazard!
Troubleshooting
3 Valid f
or: hybrid vehicles
Drive: Fault! Stop the vehicle safely
The warning lamp lights up red.
There is a fault in the vehicle’s drive system.
The vehicle's driv
e system is no longer availa-
ble. Park the vehicle in a safe place as soon
as possible. Seek professional assistance.
Drive: Fault! The electric drive is not
working properly. Visit a workshop
The warning lamp lights up yellow.
There is a fault in the vehicle’s drive system.
Drive slowly to a specialised workshop to
have the fault repaired.
Drive: Warning! Power is limited.
Check the manual
The warning lamp lights up yellow.
Performance limited. The high-voltage bat-
tery may not be sufficiently charged or may
have reached its operating temperature limit,
for example in very cold outside tempera-
tures.
Vehicle sound: Fault! Pedestrians can-
not hear the vehicle. Visit a workshop
The warning lamp lights up yellow.
There is a vehicle sound fault. Drive with ut-
most care, as other road users may not be
able to hear the electric vehicle. Go immedi-
ately to a specialised workshop to have the
fault repaired.
