ith
 
a   petrol   engine,   operate   the   starter  
m

otor
  by   turning   the   key   to   position   3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,  
u

ntil
 
the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is

Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument   panel   then   operate   the   starter m

otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position 3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,
 u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is
 r

unning,   release   the   key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can   stay   on   for   a   longer   period.   When  
t

he   engine   is   hot,   the   warning   lamp  
d

oes   not   come   on. In
  temperate   conditions,   do   not   leave  
t

he   engine   at   idle   to   warm   up   but   move  
o

ff   straight   away   and   drive   at   moderate  
s

peed.
Never   leave   the   engine   running   in  
a

n   enclosed   area   without   adequate  
v

entilation:
 in
ternal

 e

ngines   emit   toxic   exhaust   gases,  
s

uch   as   carbon   monoxide.   Danger   of  i
ntoxication   and   death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures
  below   -23°C),   to   ensure  
t

he correct operation and durability of
the
  mechanical   components   of   your  
v

ehicle,   engine   and   gearbox,   it   is  
n

ecessary   to   leave   the   engine   running  
f

or   4   minutes   before   moving   off.
If
  the   engine   does   not   start   straight  
a

way,   switch   off   the   ignition.   Wait   a   few  
m

oments   before   operating   the   starter
