WARNING
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running, especially if a gear or gear range
is engaged. The vehicle could then sudden-
ly move or something strange could hap-
pen that would cause damage, fire or seri-
ous injury.
WARNING
Cold start sprays could explode or cause a
sudden increase in the engine speed.
●
Never use sprays to cold start the engine.
CAUTION
●
The starter motor or the engine may be
damaged if you try to start the engine while
driving or if you restart it immediately after
switching it off.
● If the engine is cold, avoid high engine
speeds, pushing the engine too hard and
rapid acceleration.
●
Do not start the engine by pushing the
vehicle or towing it. Unburnt fuel could en-
ter the catalytic converter and damage it.
Note
●
Do not wait until the engine warms up
with the vehicle stationary; if you have
good visibility through the windows, start
driving immediately. This helps the engine
reach operating temperature faster and re-
duces emissions.
●
Electrical components with a high power
consumption are switched off temporarily
when the engine starts.
●
When starting with a cold engine, noise
levels may briefly increase. This is quite
normal, and no cause for concern.
● When the outside temperature is below
+5°C (+41°F), if the engine is diesel, some
smoke may appear under the vehicle when
the fuel-operated auxiliary heater is on.
