Driving

Control lamp

The control lamp should light up for a few

seconds when the ignition is switched on. It

should go out once the engine is started.

Information relating to different

vehicle processes.

Faulty steering.

WARNING

Do not continue driving, stop the vehicle as soon as

possible and in a safe manner.

Take the vehicle to a specialised workshop and have

the fault repaired as soon as possible.

Never ignore the warning lamps or messag-

es.

Electro-mechanical power steering adapts

electronically to the speed of the car, torque

and steering angle.

●

If the warning lamps and the correspond-

ing messages are ignored, the vehicle may

stall in traffic, causing serious damage or

accidents and injuries.

Even if the power steering fails or the engine

is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate

the steering wheel as long as the key remains

in the ignition, but more force must be ap-

plied.

It lights up yellow



Limited steering operation.

Drive carefully to a specialised workshop to have the

steering checked.

If the warning light does not come on again after re-

starting the engine and driving a short distance, it is

not necessary to check the steering.

●

Stop the vehicle at the next opportunity

and in a safe place.

Progressive steering

Driving modes (Drive Pro-

file)

Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may

or may not incorporate a progressive steer-

ing system.

OR: The 12-volt battery was disconnected and recon-

nected.

Drive a short distance at 15-20 km / h (9-12 mph).

In city traffic you do not need to turn so

much on parking, manoeuvring or in very

tight turns.

Introduction

It flashes yellow



The Drive Profile enables the driver to

choose between the Comfort, Sport, Cupra

and Individual, profiles, which modify the

behaviour of several vehicle functions, pro-

viding different driving experiences.

The steering column is jammed.

When stopped, turn the steering wheel in both direc-

tions.

On the road or on the motorway, progressive

steering transmits, for example, in bends, a

sportier, more direct and noticeably more

dynamic driving sensation.

OR: The steering column does not unlock or lock.

Turn off the ignition and turn it on again. Consider the

messages shown on the instrument panel display.

Do not continue driving if the steering column re-

mains locked after switching on the ignition. Seek spe-

cialist assistance.

The Individual profile can be configured ac-

cording to personal preferences. The other

profiles have a fixed configuration.

Start and driving

Adaptive chassis control (DCC)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Description

The DCC continuously adapts the damping

of the suspension system to the characteris-

tics of the road surface and the driving situa-

tion (speed, acceleration and steering wheel

angle) according to the selected driving pro-

file. The vehicle's dynamic behaviour is also

adapted to improve grip on curves and turn-

ing capacity. Within the Individual profile

you can also adjust the DCC level in a cus-

tomised manner.

Depending on the driving profile, the per-

formance of the ACC varies, to allow more

sporty acceleration and braking or a more

respectful fuel consumption.

Depending on the equipment fitted in the

vehicle, the Drive Profile can operate on the

following functions:

Engine

PreCrash system

Depending on the profile selected, the en-

gine responds more quickly or smoothly to

the accelerator being pressed.

The PreCrash system adapts according to

the selected configuration. The Cupra driv-

ing profile has specific settings to adapt it to

driving characteristics page 24 .

›››

The behaviour of the transmission is modi-

fied, whenever a gear is changed up and

down, and at other times. The idle level may

also change according to the selected profile

and selector lever position.

In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-

ing message is displayed on the instrument

screen Fault: shock absorber regula-

tion

Setting the driving profile

The Inertia Mode function can also be

switched on by selecting the Comfort pro-

file, or from the Individual profile by putting

the engine into ECO mode. This allows fuel

consumption to be reduced. Other factors

Four-wheel drive (4Drive)

Modify the transmission to adjust the vehi-

cle’s traction capacity to the road surface.

The acceleration capacity from a standstill

will also be modified.

can cause it to switch on page 224 .

Steering

Engine sound

The power steering varies its driving modes

and adapts to the profile selected, thus of-

fering the best behaviour for each situation.

Depending on the equipment and the selec-

ted profile, it modifies the acoustic sensation

in the vehicle's interior and the outside

sound levels. It acts on several components

of the vehicle to strengthen or weaken the

engine and intake noise, as well as the noise

from the exhaust system. The configuration

is preset for each profile and can be modi-

fied in the Individual profile.

ton to change the driving profile.

Air conditioning

There are several ways to select a driving

profile using the Infotainment System:

Climatronic can operate in Eco mode, espe-

cially restricting fuel consumption.
