CAUTION
The starter must only be operated when the engine is not running and the vehi-
■
cle is at a standstill. The starter or engine can be damaged if the starter is activa-
ted when the engine is running.
If the engine does not start after the second attempt, the fuse for the electric
■
fuel pump (in petrol engines) or for the control unit for the glow plug system or
the relay for the glow plug system and fuel pump (in diesel engines) could be faul-
ty. Check the fuse and replace if necessary
specialist garage.
Avoid high engine revolutions, full throttle and high engine loads before the en-
■
gine has reached its operating temperature – risk of damaging the engine!
Do not tow-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine! On vehicles with a
■
catalytic converter, unburnt fuel may get into the catalytic converter where it may
ignite. This in turn may damage the catalytic converter. The battery from another
vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid
Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey after the
■
engine has been operated over a prolonged period at high loads but leave it to
run at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation
of heat when the engine is switched off.
For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start your
journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this the engine reaches its
operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower.
Note
After pressing the starter button while the steering is locked, the steering is un-
■
locked, the electrical components are activated (e.g. radio, navigation system etc.)
and the igntion is switched on.
If you do not leave the vehicle after locking the steering and wish to unlock the
■
steering again, press the starter button. At the same time, electrical components
are activated (e.g. radio, navigation system etc.) and the ignition is switched on.
The KESSY system is protected against inadvertently switching off the engine
■
while driving, this means that the engine can only be switched off in an emergen-
