Starting the engine
In some circumstances, you may have to   apply   some   force   to   turn   the   steering  
w

heel   (wheels   on   lock   for   example).In
  wintry   conditions,   the   warning   lamp  
w

ill   stay   on   longer.   When   the   engine   is  
h

ot,   it   does   not   come   on.In   temperate   conditions,   do   not  
w

arm   the   engine   up   with   the   vehicle  
s

tationary,   but   move   off   straight   away  
a

nd   drive   at   moderate   engine   speeds.
If   the   engine   does   not   start   straight  a
way,   switch   the   ignition   off.   Wait   a  
f

ew   moments   before   trying   again.   If
