NOTICE
●
To prevent damage to the engine, the rev
counter needle should only remain in the red
zone for a short period of time.
●
When the engine is cold, avoid high revs
and heavy acceleration and do not make the
engine work hard.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to
save fuel and minimise emissions and engine
noise.

WARNING
When driving with low fuel, the vehicle may
stall in traffic and cause accidents and severe
injuries.
●
If the fuel tank level is too low, fuel
could reach the engine irregularly, particu-
larly when driving up or down slopes.
●
The steering system and the assistant sys-
tems and brakes do not work when the en-
gine is running irregularly or switches off due
to lack of fuel or an irregular supply thereof.
●
CUPRA recommends always refuelling
when the tank is approximately one quarter
full, to prevent the vehicle from stopping due
to a lack of fuel.
NOTICE
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An
irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and
unburnt fuel could enter the exhaust system.
The catalytic converter or the particulate fil-
ter may get damaged!
Note
The small arrow on the fuel gauge next to the
fuel pump symbol points out towards the side
of the vehicle with the fuel tank flap.
