•
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.

Petrol e e ngines
These engines are equipped with a petrol
injection system that automatically sup-
plies the correct fuel/air mixture at all
ambient temperatures.
When engine is c c old o o r a a t o o perating
temperature do not accelerate before or
during the starting procedure.
If the engine does not start at once, stop
using the starter after 10 seconds. Wait
about half a minute and then try again.
If the engine does still not start, this may
be due to a blow out of the electric fuel
pump fuse. See "Fuses" chapter.
When the engine is v v ery h h ot it may be
necessary to accelerate slightly after the
engine has started.
