adjusted with the ignition off, children
should never be left unattended in the
vehicle.
•
Movement of the seat can be STOPPED
at any time by pressing any button on
the power seat control panel.
•
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The
seat should be adjusted so that the
brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rear-
ward as comfort and control allow.
•
The seat rails on the floor must not be
obstructed in any way when the seat is
in motion.
Programming the memory (option)
G027037
Three different seating and door mirror posi-
tions can be stored in the driver seat's memory.
The following example explains how button 1
can be programmed. Buttons 2 and 3 can be
programmed in the same way.
To program (store) a seat position in button 1:
1. Move the seat to the desired position using
the seat adjustment controls (see
page 95).
2.
Press and hold down the MEM (memory)
button.3.
With the MEM button depressed, press
button 1 briefly to store the seat's current
position.
To move the seat to the position that it was in
when button 1 was programmed:
Press and hold down button 1 until the seat
stops moving.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop auto-
matically if the button is released before the
seat has reached the preset position.

Starting the engine
WARNING
Before starting, check that the seat, steering
wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly.
Make sure the brake pedal can be
depressed completely. Adjust the seat if
necessary. See pages 94 and 94.1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Apply the parking brake (hand brake) if not
already set. The gear selector (automatic
transmission) is locked in the (P)ark posi-
tion (SHIFTLOCK).
Manual transmission: the clutch must be
fully depressed.
3. Without touching the accelerator pedal,
turn the ignition key
1to the starting posi-
tion. Allow the starter to operate for up to
10 seconds. Release the key as soon as
the engine starts. If the engine fails to start,
repeat this step.
NOTE
•
If the key blade section of the remote is
not fully folded out when starting the
vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
•
After a cold start, idle speed may be
noticeably higher than normal for a
short period. This is done to help bring
components in the emission control
system to their normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which
enables them to control emissions and
help reduce the vehicle's impact on the
environment.
•
To release the gear selector from the P
position, the engine must be running (or
the ignition key must be in position II)
and the brake pedal must be
depressed.
•
Select the desired gear. The gear
engages after a very slight delay which
is especially noticeable when selecting
R.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with a KEYLOCK
system (automatic transmission). When the
engine is switched off, the gear selector
must be in the P position before the key can
be removed from the ignition switch.
When starting in cold weather, the trans-
mission may shift up at slightly higher
engine speeds than normal until the auto-
matic transmission fluid reaches normal
operating temperature.
WARNING
An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause
the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that
the movement of the accelerator pedal is
not impeded. No more than one protective
floor covering may be used at one time.
1If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g. on the same key ring, when you try to start the vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and result in the vehicle not
starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before trying to start the vehicle again.
