Checking the brake uid level
The brake uid level must be between the
and markings.
However, if the brake uid level goes down no-
ticeably in a short time, or drops below the
mark, there may be a leak in the brake sys-
tem. Seek specialist assistance. A warning light
on the instrument panel display monitors the
brake uid level.
Brake uid level
The control lamp lights up red.
Brake uid level is too low.
●
Stop driving!
●
Check the brake uid level.
●
If the brake uid level is too low, seek special-
ist assistance.
Changing brake uid
We recommend that you have the brake uid
changed by a Technical Service.
WARNING
If the brake uid level is low or unsuitable/old
brake uid is used, the brake system may fail
or braking power may be reduced.
●
Check the brake system and the brake uid
level regularly!
●
When the brake uid is used and brakes are
subjected to extreme braking forces, bub-
bles of vapour form in the brake system.
These bubbles can signicantly reduce brak-
ing power, notably increasing braking dis-
tance, and could result in the total failure of
the brake system.
●
Be sure to always use the correct brake
uid. Only use brake uid that expressly
meets the VW 501 14 standard.
●
You can buy VW 501 14 standard brake uid
at a specialised CUPRA service or at a SEAT
Oicial Service. If none is available, use only
high-quality brake uid that meets DIN ISO
4925 CLASS 4 standards, or USA Standards
FMVSS116DOT4.
●
The replacement brake uid must be new.
●
Brake
uid should be stored in the closed
original container in a safe place out of reach
of children. Risk of poisoning!
NOTICE
Brake
uid should not come into contact
with the vehicle paintwork, as it is abrasive.
Note
Brake uid is an environmental pollutant.
Collect any spilt service uids and allow a
professional to dispose of them.
