Cold-start aid
H
Environmental note
At outside temperatures below approx-
imately Ò4 †, the cold-start aid minimises
pollutant emissions (after the engine is star-
ted). In addition, it reduces the load on the
starter motor and batteries and enables the
engine to be started more rapidly. For this
reason, only start the engine once the %
indicator lamp in the status area of the on-
board computer has gone out.
The cold-start aid makes it easier to start the
engine at low outside temperatures (below
−15 †). It is activated at outside temperatures
below −4 †.
