Standard Workshop Practices
Vehicle in Workshop
When working on a vehicle in the workshop always
make sure that:
– the parking brake is applied or the wheels aresecurely chocked to prevent the vehicle moving
forwards or backwards.
– the key is removed from key operated hood locks before any work is carried out around the
front of the vehicle.
– if the engine is to be run, there is adequate ventilation, or an extraction hose to remove
exhaust fumes.
– there is adequate room to raise the vehicle and remove the wheels, if necessary.
– fender covers are always fitted if any work is to be carried out in the engine compartment.
– the battery is disconnected if working on the engine, underneath the vehicle, or if the vehicle
is raised.
CAUTION: When electric arc welding on a
vehicle, always disconnect the generator
wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge
of current causing damage to the internal
components of the generator.
– if using welding equipment on the vehicle, a suitable fire extinguisher is readily available.
Towing the Vehicle
WARNING: When the vehicle is being
towed, the ignition switch must be in
position II (steering lock released and
warning lamps illuminated). Only then will
the steering, turn signal lamps, horn and
stop lamps be operational. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal
injury.
NOTE: The removable towing eye (if equipped),
has a left-hand thread and must be fully tightened
before towing can commence.
When towing is necessary, the vehicle towing eyes
should be used. The rope must be securely
fastened to the towing eyes and must also be
attached to the other vehicle such that the rope will
not foul the bodywork.
When a vehicle with automatic transmission is
towed, the gear selector must be in position N (Neutral). Never tow a vehicle with automatic
transmission at a speed greater than 30 mph (50
km/h) or for a distance greater than 30 miles (50
km). If it is necessary to tow the vehicle a greater
distance, the drive wheels must be lifted clear off
the ground.
Alternatively the vehicle can be transported on a
low loader or a trailer.
Connecting a Slave Battery Using
Jumper Cables
WARNING: If the slave battery has recently
been charged and is gassing, cover the
vent plugs or covers with a damp cloth to
reduce the risk of explosion should arcing
occur when connecting the jumper cables.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
A discharged battery condition may have
been caused by an electrical short circuit.
If this condition exists there will be an
apparently live circuit on the vehicle even
when all normal circuits are switched off.
This can cause arcing when the jumper
cables are connected.
While it is not recommended that the
vehicle is jump started, it is recognized
that this may occasionally be the only
practical way to mobilize a vehicle. In such
an instance, the discharged battery must
be recharged immediately after jump
starting to avoid permanent damage.
– Always make sure that the jumper cables are adequate for the task. Heavy duty cables must
be used.
– Always make sure that the slave battery is of the same voltage as the vehicle battery. The
batteries must be connected in parallel.
– Always make sure that switched electric circuits are switched off before connecting jumper
cables. This reduces the risk of arcing occurring
when the final connection is made.

System Operation
Smart Start
The PCM enables the starting process when a key
providing a valid code is read via the PATS. This
code is then verified in the GEM and compared
with the saved code. If this code is recognized as
correct, synchronization with other modules is
carried out. After successful synchronization, the
engine is cleared to start in the PCM. The PCM
connects earth to the starter relay, which then
connects power to the starter solenoid. As soon
as the engine reaches a certain speed, the PCM
disconnects the starter relay and so turns off the
starter. This protects the starter.
If the engine does not turn or turns only slowly, the
starting process is aborted by the PCM.
The starter is notactivated if:
• the engine is running (i.e. the engine speed is above a particular value),
• the PATS does not permit the engine to be started,
• the clutch pedal is not operated (vehicles with manual transmission),
• the gear selector level is not set to P or N (vehicles with automatic transmission),
• the brake pedal is not operated (vehicles with automatic transmission).
Emergency starting function
If the keyless vehicle system is unable to recognize
the passive key, the vehicle can be started via the
emergency starting function. In this case, there is a passive key mount on the
steering wheel. A PATS transmission/reception
unit is attached to this.
To start the engine, the passive key must be
inserted into the passive key mount. The Start/Stop
button can then be used to turn on the ignition and
start the engine as normal. To deactivate the
PATS, a transponder is fitted in the passive key,
which is read by the transmission/reception unit.
