4.3.7 STARTING THE ENGINE (fi g. 19)
DANGER:
Before starting the engine, check that there is no one in the vicinity of the vehicle.
Do not operate the vehicle in closed places without ventilation.
- Check that the parking brake (1) is applied.
- Check that the electrical forward/reverse gear selector (2) is in neutral position (otherwise the vehicle will not
start).
- Check that the emergency button at the rear of the vehicle is deactivated and that the hand accelerator (3)
is in rest position.
- Start the engine by turning the ignition key (4).
- When the engine has started, release the key and check that the engine oil pressure, battery low and coolant
temperature warning lights are off.
CAUTION: Do not try to activate the starter motor with the key inserted for more than 20-30 seconds.
If the engine does not start, wait 2 minutes before retrying, allowing the starter motor to
cool down.
When the engine has started, let it run at about 1000 rpm for a few minutes to allow the oil to warm
up and lubricate all the parts; this is essential in cold climates.
CAUTION: STARTING AT LOW TEMPERATURES
Turn the ignition key clockwise by one click, wait until the display is in operating mode and
turn the ignition key to pos. 2 waiting 10-15 seconds in the pre-heating position, then turn it
to position 3 to turn on the engine. Do not hold the accelerator pedal depressed during the
preheating phase.
