With flame start
system
The flame start system warms the suction air of the engine.
This section applies to starting a warm and a cold engine.
The flame start system is activated each time the ignition is turned on:
– When the engine is warm, the lamp (1) will light up only briefly (2 to 3 sec-
onds).
– When the engine is cold, the lamp (1) goes out as soon as the engine is
preheated (duration of up to 20 seconds).
Start the engine within the next 30 seconds; otherwise, you must switch
on the ignition again and wait until the lamp goes out.
H
If the lamp (1) does not go out, there is a malfunction on the flame start sys-
tem;
à Malfunctions in the engine, p. 7 - 27.
• Wait until the lamp (1) goes out.
• Do not press the accelerator.
• Turn the ignition key to position 3 and hold it there until the engine starts.
• Let go of the ignition key after the engine starts.
• If the engine does not start, abort the starting procedure after about
15 seconds and wait one minute before trying again.
