STARTING A GASOLINE

ENGINE

Before starting the engine check

the following:

• Make sure all occupants have fastened

their safety belts.

• Make sure the headlamps and

electrical accessories are off.

• Make sure the parking brake is on.

• Move the transmission selector lever

to position park (P).

When you start the engine, the idle speed

increases, this helps to warm up the

engine. If the engine idle speed does not

slow down automatically, have your

vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: You can only operate the starter for

a limited period of time, for example 10

seconds. The number of start attempts is

limited to approximately six. If you exceed

this limit, the system will not allow you to

try again until a period of time has elapsed,

for example 30 minutes.

1. Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Turn the ignition key to position II to

switch the ignition on.

3. Turn the ignition key to position III to

start your vehicle. Release the key

when the engine starts.

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Engine Idle Speed after Starting

The speed at which the engine idles

immediately after starting will adjust

automatically to minimize vehicle

emissions and maximize cabin comfort

and fuel economy.

The idle speed will vary depending on

certain factors. These include vehicle

component and ambient temperatures as

well as electrical and climate system

demands.

Cold or Hot Engine

If the engine does not start within 10

seconds, wait for a short period and try

again.

If the engine does not start after three

attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow the

flooded engine procedure.

If you have difficulty starting the engine

when the temperature is below -13°F

(-25°C), press the accelerator pedal to the

mid-way point of its travel and try again.

Flooded Engine

1. Move the transmission selector lever

to position P.

2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and

hold it there.

3. Start the engine.

Note: If the engine does not start, repeat

the cold or hot engine procedure.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles With a Turbocharger

WARNING

Do not switch the engine off when it

is running at high speed. If you do, the

turbocharger will continue running

after the engine oil pressure has dropped

to zero. This will lead to premature

turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until

the engine has reached idle speed and then

switch it off.
