f
or around 1 minute to try again. If necessary,
perform an emergency start ›››page119.
WARNING

ide, an odourless and colourless poisonous
gas that can cause loss of consciousness
and death.

gine running, especially if a gear is engaged.

plode or cause the engine to run at high revs.

and over-loading the engine. Risk of engine
damage.
For the sake of the environment
Do not warm-up the engine by running the
engine with the v
