Starting the vehicle

– For vehicles with automatic gear-

– if one of the starting conditions is
not met, the message "Press brake

or "Select park" is displayed on the
instrument panel.
– In some cases it will be necessary to
move the steering wheel while press-
ing the start button 1 to assist in un-
locking the steering column; a mes-
sage on the instrument panel "Turn
steering wheel + START" warns of
this.
Special note: if starting the engine
when the outdoor temperature is very
low (below – 10 °C): hold down the
clutch pedal until the engine starts.
