3 Starting the engine when vehicle has
been parked over an extended period
When the vehicle is not used for a week or more or
the engine oil and oil filter are replaced, the engine
becomes starved of oil. Before the engine is started,
therefore, it must be cranked in accordance with the
following procedure to distribute oil to its various
components.

To ensure maximum safety, be sure to fully
apply the parking brake and block the
wheels with chocks.

Performing the cranking is of essential
importance in terms of protecting the turbo-
charger.

parking brake.
2. Manual transmission vehicles:
Place gearshift lever in the neutral position.
Vehicles with a DUONIC system:

4 Starting the engine with the cab tilted
When you need to start the engine with the cab
tilted for inspection or servicing purposes, be sure
