Warning!
Risk of poisoning. Exhaust gas contains
colourless and odourless carbon monoxide,
which is toxic even in low concentrations.
f Never start the engine or let it run in confined
spaces.
Danger of fire in the area of the hot exhaust
system.
f Do not park or drive your car where
combustible materials, such as dry grass or
leaves, can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system.
Danger of burns near tailpipes or in the
event of contact with tailpipes. Tailpipes are
hot when the engine is running and for some
time after the engine is switched off.
f Keep a safe distance away from the tailpipes
when you are behind the vehicle.
f Make sure that children do not burn
themselves on the tailpipes.
Starting
f Operate footbrake.
f Fully depress the clutch pedal and put the
gearshift lever into neutral. Keep the clutch
pedal depressed while you are starting the
vehicle.
f Move the PDK selector lever to the P or N
position.
f Do not press the accelerator pedal.
f Do not operate the starter for more than
approx. 10 seconds. If necessary, repeat the
starting procedure after a pause of approx.
10 seconds. Turn the ignition key back
to the 3 position first.
The first operation of the starter is ended
automatically when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, subsequent starter
operations will not be ended automatically.
f Do not warm up the engine when stationary.
Drive off immediately. Avoid high revolutions
and full throttle until the engine has reached
operating temperature.
If battery output is insufficient, jump leads can
be used to start the engine (Vehicles with manual
transmission can also be tow-started).
f Please observe the chapter "JUMP LEAD
STARTING" on Page 228.
f To ensure a good charge condition for the
battery and thus its ability to start the engine,
all electrical accessories which are not
required should be switched off when the
ignition is switched on and when engine
revolutions are low (in traffic jams, in cities or
in queues).
