WARNING
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the en-
gine is ru

suddenly, especially if it is in gear, resulting
in an accident and serious injury.
WARNING
Cold start sprays could explode or cause a
sudden inc
rease in the engine speed.
●
Never use start boosters.
CAUTION
●
An attempt t
o 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 immedi
ately if the visibility is OK.
This helps the engine reach operating tem-
perature faster and reduces emissions.

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.
●

sumption are switched off temporarily when
