Starting/Stopping The Engine - Renault Trafic Handbook

STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE

Starting the engine
Vehicles fitted with the engine immo-
biliser system
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.
Make sure that the engine immobiliser
is not activated. Refer to information on
the "Engine immobiliser" in Section 1.
Petrol injection
Turn the key to the "Start" position
without depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
Driver's responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the key inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while.
There is a risk that they could start the engine or operate electrical equipment (electric windows etc.) and trap part of
their body (neck, arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo, power-
assisted steering, etc., and the passive safety devices such as the airbags and pretensioners will no longer operate.
É

tion until the engine preheating warning

without depressing the accelerator.

starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to the "Stop" position.
