Key not authorised for the vehicle
If a key which is not authorised for this vehi-
cle is inserted in the ignition lock, it can be
removed as follows:
●
Automatic gearbox: the key cannot be re-
moved from the ignition lock. Press and re-
lease the selector lever locking button. Key
can be removed from the vehicle.
●
Manual gearbox
: Remove the key from the
ignition.
WARNING
Unsuitable or careless use of the vehicle key
could result in serious injury.
●
Always take all the keys with you whenever
you leave the vehicle. If not, the engine could
accidentally be started and electrical equip-
ment such as the windows could accidentally
be operated resulting in serious injury.
●
Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car. Passengers could be trapped
in the car in an emergency and not be able to
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
●
Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel.
Note
●
If the key is left in the ignition lock with the
engine off for long periods, the vehicle bat-
tery will run flat.
●
For automatic gearbox vehicles the key can
only be removed from the ignition lock if the
gear selector lever is in position P. In this
case, press and release the selector lever
locking button.

WARNING
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the en-

suddenly, especially if it is in gear, resulting
in an accident and serious injury.

Cold start sprays could explode or cause a
sudden increase in the engine speed.
●
Never use start boosters.
CAUTION
●
An attempt to start the engine while driving
or starting the engine immediately after turn-
ing it off can cause damage to the engine or
starter motor.
●
When the engine is cold, avoid high revs
and heavy acceleration and do not make the
engine work hard.
●
Do not push 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
driving immediately if the visibility is OK.
This helps the engine reach operating tem-
perature faster and reduces emissions.
