Driving -> Start-Stop system for Your Cupra Formentor SUV First Generation (2020-2024)

Driving  
The Intelligent Hybrid App allows the user  
to save electrical energy until reaching home  
(charging point) with just “one click”. If this  
option is not selected, the maximum amount  
of electrical energy will be consumed until  
the selected destination is reached. If the  
user has no active route, the function will of-  
fer the activation of a predictive route and  
BMA mode from the widget itself with just  
one click.

charge:  
Pressing this symbol selects a higher  
theoretical charge level. The vehicle  
tries to reach that new theoretical high-  
voltage battery charge level while driv-  
ing. The vehicle is powered by the com-  
bustion engine. If the combustion en-  
gine has “excess” power, it is used to  
charge the high-voltage battery. This  
option increases fuel consumption. CU-  
PRA therefore recommends using the  
charging socket to charge the high-volt-  
age battery, whenever possible  
The indicator lamp lights up in white.  
The E-MODE operating mode (driving in  
electric mode) cannot be used temporarily  
because one or more conditions are not  
met.

WARNING  
The high-voltage battery charge level is  
kept at around the current level while  
driving. If you accelerate harder or in-  
crease the vehicle speed, the combus-  
tion engine starts up. When permitted  
by the driver’s demand for acceleration  
and the vehicle speed, the vehicle  
switches back to electric mode.  
Control lamps  
Switching to a different operating mode  
while driving can distract you from traffic  
conditions and cause accidents.

The Start-Stop system is not available or has been dis-

Pressing this symbol selects a lower the-  
oretical charge level. The vehicle only  
uses the battery's charge when it is  
above the selected theoretical charge  
level. The rest is kept until the end of  
the journey.

Description and operation  
●
Brake until the vehicle has come to a  
standstill, and keep your foot on the brake  
pedal or activate the Auto Hold system so  
that the vehicle remains braked. The engine  
will stop. The warning lamp will appear in  
the display. The engine can be stopped be-  
fore stopping completely (approximately 7 or  
2 km/h depending on the vehicle's gear-  
box).2)  
The Start-Stop system helps you to save fuel  
and reduce CO2 emissions.  
The engine does not turn off for various  
reasons  
Before stopping the vehicle, the system veri-  
fies whether certain conditions are met. The  
engine does not switch off, in the following  
situations for example:  
In Start-Stop mode, the engine will automat-  
ically switch off when the vehicle stops or is  
stopping. The ignition remains switched on.  
The engine automatically switches back on  
when required.  
●
The engine has not yet reached the re-  
quired temperature for the Start-Stop mode.
