Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is sufficiently applied to prevent the vehicle from moving if on a slope, or if accidentally or deliberately pushed. As an additional precaution on steep slopes: • Apply the parking brake. • Turn the steering wheel towards the kerb (if there is one). The warning lamp will come on if the handbrake is on or not fully released. The parking brake is applied, with the vehicle stationary, by pulling on the lever with a force that is proportionate to the steepness of the slope. To facilitate the action on the lever, you are recommended to press the brake pedal at the same time. In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage first gear. For vehicles equipped with an automatic gearbox, ensure that the parking position (P) is selected. On steep slopes, turn the steering wheel towards the kerb.

Wait for the pre-heater warning lamp to go off if it is on. - Action the starter by turning the key until the engine turns over (not for longer than ten seconds). Note: If the vehicle has been stationary for a long time, or if you have pressed the brake pedal a number of times while stationary, it will be necessary to press the brake pedal hard down in order to authorise the engine to start. IX Advice Vehicles equipped with a Turbo: Turbo equipped engines MUST be allowed to return to idle for several seconds before switching off the ignition. Failure to do so could cause serious damage to the turbo unit. Flicking the throttle pedal as the ignition is turned off can lead to severe damage to the turbo unit.
