Starting the engine

Do not run the engine in closed rooms,

otherwise the inhalation of toxic exhaust

gases can cause unconsciousness and death.

The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,

an odorless and colorless, but highly toxic gas.

Never leave an unattended vehicle with the

engine running, as such a vehicle represents a

potential safety hazard.

Before leaving the vehicle with the engine run-

ning, select the idling position, or shift the trans-

mission into position P and firmly apply the

handbrake, otherwise the vehicle can begin to

roll.<

Avoid frequent starting in quick succes-

sion or repeated starting attempts in

which the engine does not start. Otherwise, the

fuel is not burned or inadequately burned and

there is a danger of overheating and damaging

the catalytic converter.<

Do not allow the engine to warm up by leaving it

running while the vehicle remains stationary.

Instead, begin to drive at a moderate engine

speed.
