-
I
n temperate conditions, do not
run the engine with the vehicle
stationary to warm it up, but rather
move off straight away and drive at
moderate engine speeds.
-
I
n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a
longer period after switching on the
ignition; wait until it goes off before
starting.
-
In very severe wintry conditions



(temperature below -23°C), to
ensure the correct operation
and durability of the mechanical
components of your vehicle (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine
running for 4 minutes before
moving off.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death. If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few moments before trying
again. If the engine does not start after
a few attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor and the
engine.
