Operation
●
Do not pu
sh or tow start the engine. Un-
burnt fuel could damage the catalytic con-
verter.
For the sake of the environment
Do not warm the engine at idle speed; start
driv
ing immedi
ately if the visibility is OK.
This helps the engine reach operating tem-
perature faster and reduces emissions.
Note
●
For ex
ample, if the key battery is very worn
or flat, the engine cannot be started with the
starter button. In this case, remove the igni-
tion button from the lock and insert the key.
●
Electrical devices with a high power con-
sumption are switched off temporarily when
the engine starts.
●
When the engine is started cold, there may
be strong vibrations for a few moments for
technical reasons. This is quite normal, and
no cause for concern.
●
At temperatures below +5°C (+41°F),
smoke may be given off below the vehicle
when the additional heater is connected.

WARNING
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle

The airbags and belt tensioners do not
work when the ignition is switched off.
●
The brake servo does not work with the en-
gine off. To stop, the brake pedal must be
pressed with more force.
●
As the power steering does not work if the
engine is not running, you will need more
strength to steer than normally.

If the key
is removed from the ignition, the
steering may lock and it will not be possible
to steer the vehicle.
CAUTION
●
If
the v
ehicle is stopped and the Start-Stop
system* switches off the engine, the ignition
remains switched on. Make sure that the igni-
tion is switched off before leaving the vehi-
cle, otherwise the battery could discharge.
●
If the engine has been driven at high speed
for a prolonged period of time, it may over-
heat when turned off. To avoid engine dam-
age, allow the engine to run for approximate-
ly two minutes in neutral before switching it
off.
Note
●
In vehic
les with automatic gearbox, the key
can only be removed when the selector lever
is in position P.

After stopping the engine, the engine com-
partment fan may continue running for a few
minutes, even when the ignition has been
switched off or the key removed. The radiator
fan is automatically switched off.
