tion switch and press it in to its end posi-
tion. Note that if the car is equipped with

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
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. 71).
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 petrol and diesel engines.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the engine to start is that
one of the car's remote control keys with
the Keyless drive function is in the passen-
ger compartment or cargo area.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the car while driving or during towing.
