Cupra Yellow Warning Lights - Gearbox Fault Warning Light
Clutch
Clutch overheated! Please stop!
The clutch has overheated and could be damaged. Stop and wait for the gearbox to cool with the engine idling and press the P parking lock button. When the warning lamp and the driver message turn off, go to a specialised workshop to get the fault repaired. If they do not turn off, do not continue driving. Seek specialist assistance.
Faults in the gearbox:
Gearbox: Fault! Stop the vehicle and place the lever in the P.
There is a fault in the gearbox. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and do not continue driving.
Gearbox: System fault! You may continue driving
Have the fault corrected by a specialised workshop without delay.
Gearbox: System fault! You can continue driving with restrictions. Reverse gear disabled
Take the vehicle to a specialised workshop and have the fault repaired.
Gearbox: System fault! You can continue driving in D until switching off the engine
Park the vehicle in a safe place. Seek specialist assistance.
Gearbox: too hot. Adapt your driving accordingly
Continue driving at moderate speeds. When the warning lamp switches off, you can continue driving in a normal manner.
Gearbox: press the brake and engage a gear again
If the warning was caused by the temperature of the gearbox, this driver message will be displayed when the gearbox has cooled again.
Back-up programme
If all the gear positions are shown over a light background on the instrument cluster, there is a system fault and the automatic gearbox will operate with the backup programme. It is still possible to drive the vehicle, however, at low speeds and within a selected range of gears. Driving in reverse gear may not be possible.
Parking lock manual release mechanism
If, in the event of a power failure (e.g. the 12-volt vehicle battery is drained), the vehicle must be towed and the parking lock can be released manually. In this case, you should seek professional assistance.
