WARNING
At temperatures below -20 ºC,turn the ignition key to positionII for at least one second. Thisensures that maximum fuel pressureis established.
Depress the clutch pedal fully andstart the engine without touching theaccelerator.
If the engine does not start within 15seconds, wait for a short period andrepeat the procedure.
If the engine does not start afterthree attempts wait 10 seconds andfollow the Flooded engineprocedure.

Starting at low ambienttemperatures
When the temperature is expectedto be lower than -15°C and thevehicle is filled with bio ethanol E 85,an engine block heater should beused to facilitate starting.
If the temperature is expected toremain below -15°C, it isrecommended that you increase theproportion of petrol in the tank bytopping up with 95 octane unleadedpetrol if the tank is not already full.About 10 litres of petrol will reducethe proportion of bio ethanol E 85 ina ¾ full tank from 85% to 70%.
If, at very low temperatures, the tankis filled with only bio ethanol E 85 andthere is no way to use an engineblock heater, you may experiencedifficulties starting the engine.
If the engine fails to start, proceed asfollows:
1.Depress the accelerator pedal 1/3to ½ of its travel.
2.Turn the ignition key to positionIII.
3.Release the ignition key as soonas the engine has started andrelease the accelerator pedalgradually as the engine speedincreases.
