Starting the engine
General hints
Attention When starting the engine in confined spaces there is a danger of poisoning.
• Before starting, move gear lever to neu·
tral (with automatic gearbox: Selector lever in "P" or"N" position) and apply handbrake fi rmly
•
On vehicles with a manual gearbox de
press the clutch pedal when operating
starter
so that starter only has to turn en
gine .
• As soon
as engine starts, release the
ignition key so that starter can dise ngage .
• After starting a co
ld engine It may sound
noisy for a moment or two because the 011 pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for
alarm .
~Do not warm engine up by run~ning it with vehicle stationary. Drive off straight away.
Do not overrev or use full throttle until the
engine has reached the normal operating
temperature .
• On vehicles with a catalytic converter the engine must not be started by towing the vehicle in ex· cess of 50 m. Otherwise unburnt fuel can pass into the converter and lead to damage.
• Before trying to start engine by towing, the battery from another ve· hicle should be used for starting if possible -see page 128.

jection system that automat ically supp lies

half a m in ute and then try again.

ll does not start, the electric
fuel pump fuse may have blown -see page
119 .

neces sary to accelerate slightl y after the
