For the sake of the environment
Do not warm-up the engine by running the
engine with the vehicle stationary. Start off
immediately, driving gently. This helps the
engine reach operating temperature faster
and reduces emissions.
Note
Electrical components with a high power
consumption are switched off temporarily
when the engine starts.
● When starting with a cold engine, noise
levels may briefly increase. This is quite nor-
mal, and no cause for concern.
