What do the Delete User and Restore Factory Settings options do?

You can perform a reset via the My CUPRA App or directly through the Infotainment system.

The online system update is a feature that allows your vehicle to receive and install an update to its system functionalities over the air. The update can be done anytime and anywhere. You don't even need to be inside the car.

How and when will my online system be updated?

Your car's online system will be updated remotely. This means you only need to follow a few simple steps in the Infotainment system. The update can take place at any time, but only if you allow it. The update is downloaded during your trip, and the installation takes place when your car is parked.

What is Service Scheduling?

Service Scheduling makes life easier for you. As soon as your car detects the need for a service, it notifies your preferred CUPRA service partner. The workshop then calls you to arrange a good time for the appointment. No extra effort needed.

Want it your way? You can choose your preferred service partner and contact method (email or phone) in the My CUPRA App.

What kind of vehicle data is transmitted automatically?

When your onboard infotainment system gives you a reminder about an upcoming inspection, your CUPRA service partner receives the following information about your car:

- Mileage

- Type of inspection (oil change, service interval)

- Date and time of notification

- Number of days to the next inspection and oil change

What is the Data Plan service?

Where can I purchase a data plan?

You can purchase a data plan outside the car through our partner CUBIC (My CUPRA App or cupra.cubictelecom.com).

You will also be able to purchase a data plan in the car, via the infotainment system, as long as you activate this option on CUBIC’s website and you are the primary user and owner of the SIM.

What is the Personalisation Service?

If you own a CUPRA Leon with Navi System or Media & Navi System, the personalisation service lets you enjoy a custom driving experience. Simply set up your preferences directly from your vehicle, and they will be saved automatically. For example, you can set your preferred rear view mirror position so that you can just get in your car, sign in with your CUPRA ID and drive off without any hassle.

Can other users see my confidential personal data, such as my home address?

No, all confidential data (home address, etc.) is blocked until your identification has been confirmed.

How do I reset my CUPRA CONNECT settings from the onboard infotainment system?

To reset your CUPRA CONNECT settings via the infotainment system, tap on the Menu button and then select Setup. Now tap on Factory Settings and then choose if you want to reset your entire CUPRA CONNECT configuration or only one part (e.g. Media). In both cases, you can also reset the vehicle user. Keep in mind that if you reset the user (delete user/restore factory settings), your vehicle will no longer be linked to your user account and you will lose your vehicle data in the My CUPRA App.

What kind of data is recorded and displayed?

In the Driving Data section, you can see an overview of your distances (km), driving times (hours), fuel/gas consumption, average speed per trip and the specific details of each previous journey or day. If your vehicle is an e-Hybrid, you can check the consumption as well as the battery charge.

What is my Vehicle Status?

Vehicle Status shows you your vehicle’s remaining fuel range or electric charge status, overall mileage, distance (km) and days until the next service, distance and days until the next oil change, window and door status (lock & unlock doors and windows) and light position status. If your car is a diesel CUPRA, you can also check the AdBlue autonomy in the My CUPRA App, in vehicle information section.

How up to date is my Vehicle Status data?

The data is usually up to date. When you switch off the engine, it transmits the most recent vehicle status automatically. If you would like a more up-to-date status, you can request it at any time via the My CUPRA App.

Why is the Vehicle Status information in the My CUPRA App different from the information displayed in my car?

Normally, your vehicle automatically sends its most recent data to the server as soon as you switch off the engine. However, your vehicle can't transmit data if it's in an area with no network coverage, such as an underground car park or dense forest. This may be why the data displayed in your car is more up to date than the data displayed in the App.

What is my Vehicle Health Report?

The Vehicle Health Report compiles important data concerning your car's mileage, upcoming services and any warning lights displayed on the instrument panel. You cannot print or save the Vehicle Health Report. The data overview is available in your My CUPRA App as well.

When can I request a Vehicle Health Report?

If your car is new and you're in an area with network coverage, you can request your first Vehicle Health Report after you've covered a distance of 20 kilometres or more and switched off the engine. Keep in mind that sometimes it can take a few minutes for your most recent vehicle data to appear in the My CUPRA App.

Moreover, you can request a report update by performing a long refresh on the App while the car engine is running. This action will always update the information in the My CUPRA App.

Can I download and print the Vehicle Health Report?

You can only see a visual overview of the most recent report in the My CUPRA App.

What is the Parking Position service?

The Parking Position service lets you search for your car from wherever you are. Getting to your car is quick and easy thanks to the in-app navigation, which clearly displays a map with where you parked, when you parked and even a possible route to your car.
