WARMING UP THE ENGINE JUST AFTER IT
HAS STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒ Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒ Do not demand full performance at first. Wait
until the engine coolant temperature gauge starts
moving.
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, so you need
to apply much more force than usual to the brake
pedal and steering wheel.
Never bump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill.This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
