STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE

Starting the engine
Depending on the vehicle, if a gear is
engaged, for the engine to be started,
you must depress the clutch pedal or
put the gear lever in neutral.
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.
