Introduction
The 12volt battery is located in the engine

maintenance work.
All work on batteries requires specialist knowl-
edge. Please refer to a specialised CUPRA

specialising in batteries: risk of burns or ex-
ploding battery!
The battery must not be opened! Never try to
change the uid level of the battery. Otherwise
