•
Before starting, move gear lever to neu-
tral (with automatic gearbox, selector
lever in "P" or "N" position) and apply
handbrake firmly.
•
On vehicles with a manual gearbox
depress the clutch pedal when operating
starter so that starter only has to turn
engine.
•
As soon as engine starts, release the
ignition key so that starter can disengage.
•
After starting a cold engine it may
sound noisy for a moment or two because
the oil pressure has to build up in the
hydraulic tappets first. This is normal and
no cause for alarm.
