Starting the engine
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay a visual check before starting. This will help you to discover
quickly if anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and warning dis-
plays show normal values after you have started the engine.
WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar products as a starting aid. Explosion risk!
