Cupra TERRAMAR 2024 - Inertia Mode

180
Driving
To use Launch-control you must disconnect
the traction control (TCS) or activate the ESC
Sport or ESC OFF mode, using the Infotain-
ment system menu: press the function button
> Assistants > Smart Assistants. The lamp
will remain on.
●
Press the brake pedal with your left foot and
hold it down for at least one second.
●
Set the selector lever to position S or Tip-
tronic, or select the Sport or Cupra Drive Pro-
le.
●
With your right foot, press the accelerator
down to the full throttle or kick-down position.
The engine speed is set at approximately 2000
rpm to 4000 rpm, depending on the engine
version.
●
Take your left foot o the brake pedal. The
vehicle starts with maximum acceleration.
WARNING
●
Always adapt your driving style to the traf-
c conditions.
●
Only use the Launch control programme
when road and traic conditions permit, and
make sure your manner of driving and accel-
erating the vehicle does not inconvenience
or endanger other road users.
●
Make sure that the ESC remains switched
on. Please note that when the TCS and ESC
are deactivated, the wheels may start to spin,
causing the vehicle to lose grip. Accident
hazard!
●
After moving o, you should activate the
TCS or deactivate the ESC “sport” mode
again using the Infotainment system: func-
tion button > Assistants > Smart Assistants.
Note
●
Dynamic driving or using a launch-control
program may considerably raise the temper-
ature of the catalytic converter or gearbox. In
this case, the program may be out of service
for a few minutes. The program may be used
again once the cooling phase is complete.
●
Accelerating with the Launch control pro-
gramme places a heavy load on all parts of
the vehicle. This can result in increased wear
and tear.
Inertia mode
The inertia mode allows you to travel certain
distances without using the accelerator, which
saves fuel. Plan ahead and use the inertia
mode to “let” the vehicle “roll”.
Activation of the inertia mode
Combustion engine vehicles (not PHEVs, not
mHEVs):
●
The function is only available when the “Eco”
driving prole is selected, when the accelera-
tor is not depressed and at speeds between 7
and 130km/h (between 4 and 80mph).
●
If when driving below about 22km/h (about
14mph) and you press the brake with the in-
tention of stopping, the engine may switch o
and remain o until the vehicle comes to a
stop. The system can automatically start the
engine to ensure that power is supplied to the
electrical system or to ensure its own start-up.
Mild hybrid electric vehicles (mHEV):
●
The function is only available when the
“Eco” or “Comfort” driving prole is selected,
when the accelerator is not depressed and at
speeds between 7 and 160km/h (between 4
and 99mph).
●
If you apply the brakes and the vehicle
slows to a stop below about 40km/h (about
25mph), the engine switches o until the vehi-
cle comes to a stop. The system can automat-
ically start the engine to ensure that power is
supplied to the electrical system or to ensure
its own start-up.
●
If you press the brake when in inertia mode
to stop above about 40km/h (about 25mph),
the inertia mode will be interrupted and the
engine will start.
●
When stopping without braking, the engine
automatically restarts at minimum speed to al-
low manoeuvring.
Start and cancel inertia mode
Start:
1. Select the “Eco” drive prole.
