Starting-switching off the engine
It has 3 positions:
- p osition 1 (Stop):
insert and removing
the
key,
-
p
osition 2 (Ignition on) :
steering column
u
nlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
e
ngine
r
unning,
-
p
osition 3 (Starting).
Ignition switch
Switching off the engine leads to a loss o
f braking assistance.
Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once
the state of charge of the battery drops
t
o the reserve level, the system switches to
e
nergy economy mode: the power supply is
c
ut off automatically to preserve the remaining
b
attery charge. Avoid
attaching heavy objects to the k
ey, which would weigh down on its b
lade in the ignition switch and could
c
ause a malfunction.

The parking brake must be applied.
F
W
ith
a manual gearbox, place the gear
l
ever
in neutral then depress the clutch

ully.
F
W

an electronic gearbox, place the
c
ontrol at N then press the brake pedal
f
i r m l y.
F
I
nsert
the key into the ignition switch; the
s
ystem recognises the code.
In
certain cases, you may have to apply
m
ore force to the steering (wheels on
f
ull
lock, for example).
F
W
ith
a petrol engine, operate the starter
m
otor
by turning the key to position 3
without
pressing the accelerator pedal,
u
ntil
the engine starts. Once the engine is
r
unning, release the key. F
W ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
p
osition 2,
ignition on, to operate the
eng
ine
p
re-heating
s
ystem.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel then operate the starter m
otor by turning the key to position 3
without
pressing the accelerator pedal,
u
ntil the engine starts. Once the engine is
r
unning, release the key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can stay on for a longer period. When
t
he engine is hot, the warning lamp
d
oes not come on. In
temperate conditions, do not leave
t
he engine at idle to warm up but move
o
ff straight away and drive at moderate
s
peed.
Never leave the engine running in
a
n enclosed area without adequate
v
entilation:
in
ternal
c
ombustion
e
ngines emit toxic exhaust gases,
s
uch as carbon monoxide. Danger of i
ntoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(
temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
t
he correct operation and durability of
t
he mechanical components of your
v
ehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
n
ecessary to leave the engine running
f
or 4 minutes before moving off.
If
the engine does not start straight
a
way, switch off the ignition. Wait a few
m
oments before operating the starter
m
otor again. If the engine does not
s
tart after several attempts, do not keep
t

The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive

-
v

For
optimum acceleration, when
