PETROL MODELS
Never start or leave the
engine running in an
unventilated building - exhaust
gases are poisonous and
contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause
unconsciousness and may even
be fatal.
Starting the engine
1. Check that the handbrake is on and that the gear lever is
in neutral (‘P’ or ‘N’ for automatic transmission).
2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical equipment
(including the air conditioning).
3. Turn the starter key to the third position and release the
key as soon as the engine has started.
NOTE: Continued use of the
starter will not only discharge the
battery, but may damage the
starter motor and the catalytic
converter.
DO NOT press the accelerator pedal while starting and DO
NOT operate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time.
If the engine fails to start, switch off and wait for at least 10
seconds before trying again.
What to do if the engine fails to start, or starts but will
not continue running:
Care point: Catalytic converters
can be damaged if the wrong fuel
is used, or if an engine misfire
occurs. Before starting the
engine, you should be aware of
the precautions detailed under
‘Catalytic converter’.
•
Press the accelerator pedal half way down while operating
the starter. DO NOT operate the starter for more than 15
seconds and release the accelerator as soon as the engine
starts.
•
If the engine still fails to start, operate the starter again, this
time fully depressing the accelerator pedal to clear the
engine of excess fuel. Ensure the starter motor is not
operated for more than 15 seconds and release the
accelerator as soon as the engine starts.
•
DO NOT pump the accelerator pedal during starting.
