clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine starts.
Engines with Selespeed transmission: keep the brake pedal fully depressed; turn the ignition key to AVV and re-
lease it as soon as the engine has started; the transmission sets to neutral automatically (the display shows position N).

flammable material, grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.: fire hazard.
