Turn the key to the drive position.
Wait for the preheater warning lamp
to go out, if it is on, then action the

Recommence the operation.

ADVICE
Diesel vehicle with turbo-
chargers
Never stop the engine without
first having allowed it to idle for a
few seconds, this being the time
required for the turbochargers to
return to a normal speed.
Do not « flick » the accelerator at
the moment you switch off the igni-
tion as this could seriously damage
the turbochargers.
