WARNING
Never leave the vehicle with the engine run-
ning, es
pecially if a gear or gear range is en-
gaged. The vehicle could then suddenly move
or something strange could happen that
would cause damage, fire or serious injury.
WARNING
Cold start sprays could explode or cause a
sudden inc
rease in the engine speed.
●
Never use sprays to cold start the engine.
CAUTION
●
The star
ter motor or the engine may be
damaged if you try to start the engine while
driving or if you restart it immediately after
switching it off.
●
If the engine is cold, avoid high engine
speeds, pushing the engine too hard and rap-
id acceleration.
●
Do not start the engine by pushing the ve-
hicle or towing it. Unburnt fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and damage it.
Note
●
Do not wait
until the engine warms up with
the vehicle stationary; if you have good visi-
bility through the windows, start driving im-
mediately. This helps the engine reach oper-
ating temperature faster and reduces emis-
sions.
