Diesel engines can take a few seconds longer
than usual to start on cold days. Therefore
the clutch pedal (manual gearbox) or the
brake pedal (automatic gearbox) must re-
main pressed until the engine starts up. Dur-
ing preheating, the warning lamp
remains
lit.
The preheating time depends on the coolant
and exterior temperatures. With the engine at
operating temperature, or at outside temper-
atures above +8°C, the warning lamp
will
light up for about one second. This means
that the engine starts
immediately
.
If the engine does not immediately start up,
interrupt the starting process and try again
after 30 seconds. To start the engine again,
return the key to position
1

If the vehicle is stopped and the Start-Stop
system* switches off the engine, the ignition
remains switched on.
Automatic transmission:

vehicle, make sure that the ignition is switch-
ed off and the selector lever is in position
