How To Start The Engine

Warning: The engine can be started by any person in the
vehicle if the brake pedal is pressed down. Care should be
taken that the vehicle is not left unattended with the key
present and occupants such as young children inside.
Caution: In extreme low temperatures (-20°C and below)
do not run the engine above 4000 rpm, while at standstill or
when moving off, until the coolant temperature gauge
reaches normal operating temperature. Revving the engine
before fully warmed up may cause severe engine and
transmission damage.
