Starting the engine
Depending on the vehicle, if a gear is
engaged, for the engine to be started,
you must depress the clutch pedal or
put the gear lever in neutral. The "Neu-
tral + START" message appears on
the trip computer to notify you.
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below -20°C): to make it easier to start
the engine, switch on the ignition for
several seconds before starting the
engine.
When starting the engine in very low
exterior temperatures (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
On a vehicle equipped with an auto-
matic gearbox, before starting, set the
lever to P or N position and press the
brake pedal 🡺151.
