Stopping and starting the
engine
Introduction
Immobiliser display
When an invalid key is used or in the event of
a system fault, is displayed on the instru-
ment panel. The engine cannot be started.
Pushing or towing
For technical reasons, the vehicle must not
be push- or tow-started. Jump starting is pref-
erable.
WARNING
Switching off the engine while driving makes
stopping the vehicle difficult. As a conse-
quence you may lose control of the vehicle
and there is a risk of serious accident.
●
The assisted braking and steering systems,
the airbag system, seat belts and certain
86
Operation
safety equipment are only active while the
engine is running.
●
The engine should only be switched off
when the vehicle is at a standstill.
WARNING
While the engine is running or starting it
could help reduce the risk of serious injury.
●
Never start or leave the engine running in
poorly ventilated or closed spaces. Exhaust
gas contains carbon monoxide, a toxic, col-
ourless and odourless gas. Carbon monoxide
can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death.
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the
engine is running. The vehicle could move off
suddenly or something unexpected could
happen resulting in damage and serious in-
jury.
●
Never use start boosters. Cold start sprays
could explode or increase the engine speed
unexpectedly.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system reach
very high temperatures. This could cause a
fire and considerable damage.
Always park your vehicle so that no part of
●
the exhaust system can come in contact with
flammable materials (such as wood, leaves,
spilled fuel, dried grass, etc).
Never apply additional underseal or anti-
●
corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, cata-
lytic converter or the heat shields on the ex-
haust system.
