Immobiliser display

If the vehicle key is not valid or there is a fault in the system, this will be displayed in the instrument cluster. The engine cannot be started.

Push-starting or towing

For technical reasons, your vehicle must not be push-started or tow-started. Use jump leads to start the engine instead.
WARNING
Switching the engine off while the vehicle is in motion makes it more difficult to stop the vehicle. This can lead to loss of control of the vehicle
and to accidents and severe injuries.
Braking and steering support systems, the airbag system, the belt tensioners and other items of safety equipment in the vehicle are only
active when the engine is running.
The engine should only be switched off when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING
The risk of serious injury can be reduced with the engine running or when starting the engine.
Never start or run the engine in unventilated or closed rooms. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless
toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. It can also cause death.
Never start or run the engine if oil, fuel or any other highly flammable fluids are under or near the vehicle, or are leaking out of the vehicle,
e.g. as the result of damage.
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly if a gear or position has been selected. The vehicle could move
suddenly or something unexpected may happen that may cause damage, fire and serious injuries.
Never use a start booster. Start boosters may explode and cause the engine to suddenly run at high revs.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Never park the vehicle where parts of the exhaust system can come into contact with inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g.
undergrowth, leaves, dry grass, spilt fuel, oil etc.
Never apply underseal or anti-corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, catalytic converter, diesel particulate filter or the heat shields on the
exhaust system.
