General notes
• Before starting, move gear lever to neutral (with automatic
gearbox, selector lever in “P” or “N” position) and apply handbrake
firmly.
• On vehicles with a manual gearbox depress the clutch pedal
when operating starter so that starter only has to turn engine.
• As soon as engine starts, release the ignition key so that starter
can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound noisy for a moment or
two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for alarm.

• Do not over-rev 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 excess of 50 m. Otherwise unburned fuel can pass into
the converter and lead to damage.
• Before trying to start the engine by towing, an attempt should be made, if
possible, to use the battery of another vehicle

•When the warning lamp goes out, start the engine immediately.
Do not depress the accelerator while starting.
If the engine only fires irregularly, continue to operate the starter a
few seconds longer (30 seconds at maximum) until the engine
runs under its own power.
If the engine does not start, switch the glow plugs on again and try
starting it again as described.S St

The glow plug lamp does not come on – the engine can be started
straight away.
K
Starting after running out of fuel
If the tank on vehicles with a diesel engine was empty, starting
after filling with diesel fuel can take longer than normal – up to
one minute. This is because the fuel system must first be freed of
air before starting.

• If the fuse burns out again shortly after being changed, immediately take
your vehicle to a Technical Service Centre to have the electricalsystem
checked.
• Some of the components listed are only found on certain models or are
optional extras.
K
Changing a fuse
The fuses are located on the left hand side of the dash panel
behind a cover.
On right-hand drive versions, the fuses are on the right hand side
of the dash panel behind a cover.
• Switch off the ignition and the component concerned.
• Take the cover off.
To do this, place the flat blade of the screwdriver in the recess on
the cover (arrow) and lever off.
• With the aid of the list of fuses (see next pages or the cover of
the fuse box) determine which fuse belongs to the component that
has failed.
• Remove the appropriate fuse.
• Replace blown fuse – can be recognised by the burnt metal strip
– with a fuse of same amperage.
• Replace the cover.
