STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE

Starting the engine

In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
Petrol injection
– Activate the starter without de-
pressing the accelerator.
– Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
É
Diesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition
"On" position M, and hold this position
until the preheating warning light goes
out.
Move the key to "Start" position D with-
out accelerating. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.

LPG versions
The engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelerat-
ing;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge
may indicate a drop in the petrol level
and the on-board computer will not op-
erate.
Under certain winter conditions the
system may delay or disable operation
with LPG.
After stopping the engine if the environ-
mental conditions are once again suita-
ble, the system may once again permit
LPG mode.
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer
to the information on "Driving advice,
Eco-driving" in Section 2.
