before changing lanes. Changing lanes
without taking into account the actual
distance of the vehicle in the convex mirror
is dangerous. You could have a serious
accident. What you see in the convex
mirror is closer than it appears.
38)Always return the outside mirrors to the
driving position before you start driving:
driving with the outside mirrors folded in is
dangerous. Your rear view will be
restricted, and you could have an accident.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
40) 41)
Some countries require moving vehicles
to have their lights on (running lights)
during the daytime.
The running lights turn on automatically
when the vehicle starts moving.
They turn off when the parking brake is
operated or the selector lever is shifted
to the P position (versions with
automatic transmission).

STARTING THE
ENGINE
130) 131) 132)
24)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
For starting procedure see “Starting the
engine” in “Getting to know your
vehicle” chapter.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:
park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage
a gear (versions with manual
transmission) or position the gear lever
to P (Parking) (versions with automatic
transmission);
turn the ignition device to STOP with
the engine idling.
WARNING
130)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.131)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
132)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
24)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
PARKING BRAKE
133) 134) 135)
IMPORTANT Driving with the parking
brake on will cause excessive wear of
the brake parts.
Setting the parking brake
Depress the brake pedal and then firmly
pull the parking brake lever fully
upwards with sufficient force to hold the
vehicle in a stationary position.
Releasing the parking brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull the
parking brake lever 1 upwards fig. 84,
then press the release button 2. While
holding the button, lower the parking
brake lever all the way down to the
released position.

IMPORTANT The guide lines are fixed
on the screen. They are not
synchronized with the driver’s actions
on the steering wheel. Always use the
utmost caution and check the area
behind the vehicle and the surrounding
area with your own eyes when
reversing.
REAR VIEW MONITOR
OPERATION
NOTE Images displayed on the monitor
from the rear view parking camera are
reversed images (mirror images).
Give due consideration to the above
warnings before you use the rear-view
monitor:
shift the selector lever or shift lever to
reverse (R) to switch the display to the
rear view monitor display A fig. 98;
confirming the surrounding
conditions, reverse the vehicle B fig. 98;
after your vehicle begins entering the
parking space, continue backing up
slowly so that the distance between the
vehicle width lines and the sides of the
parking space on the left and right are
roughly equal;
continue to adjust the steering wheel
until the vehicle width guide lines are
parallel to the left and right sides of the
parking space;
once they are parallel Afig. 99,
straighten the wheels and back your
vehicle slowly into the parking space Bfig. 99. Continue checking the vehicle's
surroundings and then stop the vehicle
in the best possible position (if the
parking space has division lines, check
whether the vehicle width guide lines
are parallel to them);
when the selector lever or shift lever
is shifted from reverse (R) to another
selector lever or shift lever position, the
screen returns to the previous display.
