Starting the engine
Starting the engine
Keep the brake pedal pressed
when starting the engine.
It is dangerous to operate the
engine in a closed space. The
engine consumes oxygen and
discharges carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING: Before starting-up the
vehicle, deactivate both the electronic
alarm by pressing the radio-controlled
key and the electrical devices with high
power absorption (air-conditioning,
heated side window, headlights etc.).
WARNING: Do not start the engine if
the fuel in the tank is low.
WARNING: When the engine is started,
the “cambiocorsa” feature is active.
1) Ensure the handbrake is engaged
and the doors are closed.
2) Keep the brake pedal pressed when
starting the engine.
3) Do not press the accelerator pedal.
4) Put the gearshift in neutral, pulling
both the UP and DOWN levers towards
the steering wheel, and ensure the
gear indicator shows
N and that it is
not flashing.
5) Turn the ignition key to the MAR
position.
6) Press the START button and release
it as soon as the engine starts.
Do not keep the START button pressed
for a prolonged time.
If the engine fails to start, turn the key
back to the
STOP position and wait for
the gear indicator to switch off before
repeating the procedure.
The engine can also be started with a
gear engaged. Turn the ignition key to
the
MAR position, keep the brake
pedal pressed and press the START
button. The system will allow the
clutch to open and the gearshift to
engage the neutral gear.
Then the starter motor receives
clearance for start-up. This procedure
normally requires a time lapse of one
second. At very low temperatures, the
procedure might be slightly slower.
If, instead, the gearshift is in neutral
(
N ), the start-up is immediate.
If the engine fails to start, after turning
the key back to the
STOP position, wait
until the gearshift display switches off
and then repeat the entire procedure.
