STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
3
Starting the engine
In cold condition: switch on the igni-
tion for several seconds before
starting the engine, so that it is easi-
er to start the engine.
Petrol injection
– Activate the starter without de-
pressing the accelerator.
– Release the key as soon as the en-
gine starts.
Once switching on the ig-
nition, wait for three sec-
onds then crank the en-
gine.
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key or re-
mote control inside
and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for
a short while.
The reason for this is that the
child may endanger himself or
others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as
the window winders for exam-
ple, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition be-
fore the vehicle has stopped
completely. Once the engine
has stopped, the brake servo,
power assisted steering and
passive safety equipment such
as air bags will no longer oper-
ate.
The steering is locked when the
key is removed.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, acces-
sories (e.g. radio) stop working either
when the engine is switched off or
when the doors are locked.
