5 Without touching the accelerator pedal turn the ignition key to starting position. Release the key
as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at once, depress the accelerator pedal halfway and keep it there until
the engine starts.
Avoid repeated short attempts to start (fuel is injected every time the starter is engaged when engine is
cold).
Allow the starter to operate for a longer time (but not more than 15-20 seconds).
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting.
Engine warm-up - initial driving procedure
Experience shows that engines in vehicles driven short distances are subject to abnormally rapid wear
because the engine never reaches normal operating temperature.
It is therefore beneficial to reach normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a
light foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside the garage to ensure adequate
ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very
poisonous.
TURBO CAUTION
Important for cars with turbo engines:
Do not race the engine immediately after starting. When cold, oil flows less rapidly and may not reach
all parts that require lubrication.
Before switching off the engine, let it operate at idle for a short time to allow the spinning of the turbo-
compressor's turbine vane's to slow.
After hard driving, this idle time should last a few minutes, during which the vanes will slow and the
compressor will cool while still receiving pressure lubrication. If the turbine vanes are spinning at hight
speeds when the engine is switched off, there is a great risk of heat damage and/or turbine seizure due to
lack of lubrication.
Do not race the engine just prior to switching off!
