Starting and Stopping the Engine

GENERAL INFORMATION

General points on starting

If the battery has been disconnected the vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for approx. 8 kilometers (5 miles) after reconnecting the battery.

This is because the engine management system must realign itself with the engine.

Any unusual driving characteristics during this period may be disregarded.

Starting the engine by towing or pushing

WARNING

To prevent damage you must not push or tow start your vehicle. Use

booster cables and a booster battery.

See Jump Starting the Vehicle (page

251).

IGNITION SWITCH

WARNING

Never return the key to position 0 or

I when the vehicle is in motion.

II The ignition is switched on. All electrical circuits are operational. Warning lamps and indicators illuminate. This is the key position when driving. You must also select it when being towed.

III The starter motor is activated. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

KEYLESS STARTING

WARNINGS

The keyless starting system may not function if the key is close to metal objects or electronic devices such as cell phones.

Always check that the steering wheel lock is deactivated before attempting to move your vehicle.

STARTING A GASOLINE

ENGINE

Note: You can only operate the starter for a limited period of time, for example 10 seconds. The number of start attempts is limited to approximately six. If you exceed this limit, the system will not allow you to try again until a period of time has elapsed, for example 30 minutes.

Cold or hot engine

Vehicles with manual transmission

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Note: Releasing the clutch pedal during engine start may stop the engine cranking and return to ignition on.

Fully depress the clutch pedal.

2. Start the engine.

Vehicles with automatic transmission

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Note: Releasing the brake pedal during engine start may stop the engine cranking and return to ignition on.

Engine idle speed after starting

The speed at which the engine idles immediately after starting will vary depending on the engine temperature.

The idle speed is automatically increased when the engine is cold this is to heat the catalytic converter. This keeps the vehicle emissions to an absolute minimum.

The idle speed will slowly decrease to the normal level as the catalytic converter warms up.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

STARTING A GASOLINE

ENGINE - E85

For general information on starting a

gasoline engine. See Starting a Gasoline

Engine (page 148).

Starting at low ambient temperatures

When the temperature is lower than -10°C

(14°F) and the vehicle is filled with E85, an engine block heater should be used to

facilitate starting. See Engine Block

Heater (page 150). Failure to do this will

result in a non start.

If the temperature is expected to remain below -10°C (14°F), it is recommended that you increase the proportion of gasoline in the tank by topping up with 95 octane unleaded gasoline if the tank is not already full. About 10 liters (2.2 gallons) of gasoline will reduce the proportion of E85 in a ¾ full tank from 85% to 70% and will considerably improve cold start capability.

If, at very low temperatures, the tank is filled with only E85 and there is no way to use an engine block heater, you may experience difficulties starting the engine.

If the engine fails to start, proceed as follows:

Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

2. Turn the ignition key to position III.

CAUTION

Release the ignition key as soon as the engine has started.

3. Gradually release the accelerator pedal after five seconds of engine cranking or as the engine speed rises.

If the engine fails to start, repeat steps 1, 2 and 3, or connect an engine block heater for two hours before attempting another start.

During starting, the fuel injectors are turned off as long as the accelerator pedal is depressed. This can be used to drain excessive fuel from the intake manifold after several unsuccessful starting attempts.

If the battery has been disconnected or after the fuel type has been changed, the idle speed may be irregular. This will improve after 10 to 30 seconds.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

Note: When the temperature is below -15°C

(5°F), you may need to crank the engine for up to 25 seconds.

Note: Continue cranking the engine until it starts.

Note: You can only operate the starter for a maximum of 30 seconds at a time.

Switch the ignition on and wait until the glow plug indicator goes off.

Vehicles with manual transmission

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Fully depress the clutch pedal.

2. Start the engine.

Vehicles with automatic transmission

Select park or neutral.

2. Fully depress the brake pedal.

3. Start the engine.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

The DPF forms part of the emissions reduction systems fitted to your vehicle. It filters harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the exhaust gas.

Regeneration

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other combustible materials. The DPF regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after DPF regeneration, and after you have switched the engine off.

This is a potential fire hazard.

CAUTION

Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: During regeneration at low speed or engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic odor and could notice a clicking metallic sound. This is due to the high temperatures reached during regeneration and is normal.

Note: After you have switched your engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.

Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic replacement, the DPF has been designed to regenerate, or clean itself to maintain operating efficiency. The regeneration process takes place automatically. However, some driving conditions mean that you may need to support the regeneration process.

If you drive only short distances or your journeys contain frequent stopping and starting, where there is increased acceleration and deceleration, occasional trips with the following conditions will assist the regeneration process:

• Drive your vehicle at a constant speed, preferably on a main road or highway, for up to 20 minutes.

• Avoid prolonged idling and always observe speed limits and road conditions.

• Do not switch off the ignition.

• Use a lower gear than normal to maintain a higher engine speed during this journey, where appropriate.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles with a turbocharger

CAUTION

Do not switch the engine off when it is running at high speed. If you do, the turbocharger will continue running after the engine oil pressure has dropped to zero. This will lead to premature turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed and then switch it off.
