Introduction
Immobiliser display
When an invalid key is used or in the e
vent of
a system fault, or Immobiliser on is dis-
played on the instrument panel. The engine
cannot be started.
Pushing or towing
For technical reasons, the vehicle must not
be push- or tow-started. Jump starting is
preferable.
WARNING
Turning off the engine while driving will
make it difficult to st
eer and stop the vehi-
cle; this could even result in the loss of con-
trol causing an accident with serious con-
sequences.
●
The assisted braking and steering sys-
tems, the airbag system, seat belts and
certain safety equipment are only active
while the engine is running.
●
The engine should only be swit
ched off
when the vehicle is at a standstill.
WARNING
With the engine running or when it is star-
t
ed, some assistance and saf
ety systems
will be active, which could help reduce the
risk of serious injury.
●
Never start or leave the engine running in
poorly ventilated or closed spaces. Ex-
haust gas contains carbon monoxide, a
toxic, colourless and odourless gas. Car-
bon monoxide can cause people to lose
consciousness. It can also cause death.
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the
engine is running. The vehicle could move
off suddenly or something unexpected
could happen resulting in damage and se-
rious injury.
●
Never use start boosters. Cold start
sprays could explode or increase the en-
gine speed unexpectedly.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system
reach very high t
emperatures. This could
cause a fire and considerable damage.
●
Always park your vehicle so that no part
of the exhaust system can come in contact
with flammable materials (such as wood,
leaves, dried grass, spilled fuel, etc.).
●
Do not apply additional underseal or an-
ti-corrosion coatings to the e
xhaust pipes,
catalytic converter, heat shields or the par-
ticulate filter.
