About this manual
This instruction manual is valid for all variants
and versions of your CUPRA model. It de-
scribes all the equipment and models with-
out specifying whether they are optional
equipment or model variants. As a result,
equipment not fitted to your vehicle or only
available in certain countries may be descri-
bed. Find out about your vehicle's equip-
ment in the documentation supplied with it
and please contact your CUPRA Specialised
Service or SEAT Official SEAT Service if you
require more detailed information.
All information provided in instruction man-
ual corresponds to the information available
at the time of going to press. As the vehicle is
under continuous development, it may have
differences to the data included in this man-
ual. For this reason, no claims can be made
in the event of mismatching data, illustra-
tions and descriptions.
Ensure that the on-board documentation is
kept in the vehicle at all times if you sell it or
lend it to third parties. In addition, CUPRA
recommends resetting the infotainment sys-
tem to factory settings to delete all personal
data.
Some details on the drawings may vary from
its vehicle and must be interpreted as a
standard representation.
The direction indicators (left, right, for-
wards, backwards) in this manual refer to the
travel direction of the vehicle unless other-
wise stated.
This instruction manual has been written for
left-hand drive vehicles. In right-hand drive
vehicles, the arrangement of the controls
differs partly from that shown in the illustra-
tions or described in the texts.
Technical modifications to the vehicle or
safety-critical issues that have arisen since
the time of going to press will be included in
a supplement to the on-board documenta-
tion.

ual using:
