Starting the engine

the remote control key and the START/STOP
ENGINE button.
Ignition switch with remote control key extrac-
ted/inserted and START/STOP ENGINE button.
IMPORTANT
Do not press in the remote control key

detachable key blade, see Detachable key
blade - detaching/attaching (p. 164).
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch and press it in to its end posi-
tion. Note that if the car is equipped with
alcohol lock* then a breath test must first
be approved before the engine can be

.
(For cars with automatic gearbox -
Depress the brake pedal.)
3. Press the
START/STOP ENGINE
button
and then release it.
NOTE
For diesel-engined cars, there may be a
slight delay before the engine can be
started -
Engine preheating
is displayed
in the meantime.
When the engine is started the starter motor
works until the engine is started or until its
overheating protection triggers.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts -
wait for 3 minutes before making a further
attempt. Starting capacity increases if the
battery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch after starting the engine
or when the car is being towed.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
car, and make sure that the key position is
0 - in particular if there are children in the
car. For information on how this works -
see Key positions (p. 75).
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is done in order that the
emissions system can reach normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible,
which minimises exhaust emissions and
protects the environment.
Keyless drive*
Follow steps 2-3 for keyless (p. 168) starting
of the engine.
2 If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the engine.
