Caution! Do not start the engine or allow it to run in an unventilated area. Exhaust gases can cause suffocation, loss of consciousness and even death.
Caution! Do not engage the starter if you suspect a malfunction in the ignition system (on variants with a gasoline engine).
Caution! Do not engage the starter after several unsuccessful attempts to start the engine.
Do not let the starter run for more than 10 seconds at a time. Release the ignition key immediately after the engine starts. If the engine does not start, return the ignition key to its original position and repeat the starting procedure.
To make it easier to start the engine at outside temperatures below 0°C, press the clutch pedal while engaging the starter. After the engine starts, release it gradually.
Caution! If the engine does not start, check the position of the inertia fuel switch button (see the relevant paragraph paragraph 2) and reset the switch if necessary.
Warning. Never run the engine in areas covered with dry leaves or dry grass. Heating of the exhaust system may cause fire.
Petrol engine options
- To start the engine:
- Make sure the parking brake is applied.
- Move the gear shift lever to neutral position.
- Turn the key to the starter start position (for the key switching sequence, see. "Ignition switch" in paragraph 2 of this chapter) and release it immediately after the engine starts.
Caution! Do not press the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.
Caution! Do not engage the starter for more than 10 seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start after the first attempt, turn off the ignition and try again.
Diesel engine options
To start the engine:
- Make sure the parking brake is applied.
- Move the gear shift lever to neutral position.
- Turn the key to position M (starter activation, pre-start heating) and make sure that the glow plug indicator light is on.
Note: If the engine is hot, the glow plug indicator light may not come on.
- Wait until the glow plug indicator lamp goes out. The hotter the engine, the faster it will go out.
- As soon as the light goes out, immediately turn the key to the start position. If you wait too long, the advantage provided by glow plugs will be lost.
- Release the key immediately after the engine starts.
Caution! Do not press the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.
Caution! Do not engage the starter for more than 10 seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start after the first attempt, turn off the ignition and try again.
