Programming the Charging of the Cupra Formentor's Traction Battery

Model: Cupra Formentor MK 1 - Years 2020-2026
Part: Battery

Let's see how to program the charging of the Cupra Formentor's traction battery: access the menu from the infotainment system: go to E-manager, where you will find: departure, temperature (climate control) settings. Go to Scheduling/Departure, where you can activate up to 3 programmes (for example, weekday or weekend). Set the departure time (not the charging start time) so that the car is ready at that hour. Select the days (for example, Monday to Friday) and activate 'repeat' to make them recurring. Choose whether you want 'charging' only, 'climate control' only (warm or cool car), or both. The climate control when the vehicle is stationary heats or cools the car before departure, which is particularly useful in winter. You can also activate 'defrosting' and, if available, 'heated seats'. If the battery drops below 20% and the car is connected, it will start charging, regardless of whether it was programmed or not. All settings can be modified via the Cupra Connect app. As the video states, it makes no sense to have a hybrid vehicle if you always drive with a flat battery.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
