Engine start

With the engine in a closed room there is a danger of poisoning!

On a car with manual gearbox during engine start-up clutch pedal is depressed - the starter only has to rotate the crankshaft of the engine.

Once the engine starts, immediately release the ignition key - the starter should not rotate together with the engine.

After a cold start, he will be in a short time can be noisy as not yet large enough oil pressure valve tappet clearances. This is normal and should not alarm you.

Do not allow the engine is warm when parked! Immediately turn off!

While the engine is not warmed up to normal operating temperature, avoid giving him a high speed and a full supply of fuel.

When towing vehicles with a catalytic converter for cleaning exhaust gas can not keep trying to start the engine when towing over a distance of 50 meters. Unburnt fuel may get into the catalytic converter and damage it.

Before attempting to start the engine by towing, you should try to put it with a battery of another vehicle.

Gasoline engines

These engines are equipped with fuel injection system, which automatically at any ambient temperature provides an optimal ratio between fuel and air.

Before starting the engine is warm or cold, and during start-up, do not press the accelerator pedal.

If you can not immediately start the engine, it should be 10 seconds to stop the process and start it again in half a minute.

If the engine does not start up again, check the fuse of the electric fuel pump.

After starting the engine is very hot for some time should be run at medium speed.

Diesel engines

The device is preheating

After switching position when driving ("Ignition ON") warning lamp depending on the engine coolant temperature signals or no signals about the need for preheating.

Cold start

When the outside temperature is above + 5 ?� C: the engine can be started immediately without preheating. During start-up, do not press the accelerator pedal.

When the outside temperature is below + 5 ?� C: the ignition key turned to position 2 - lights warning lamp preheating. The lamp goes out after reaching a temperature sufficient to ignite the fuel.

When preheating is included, all other major consumers of power must be turned off - otherwise the battery will be overloaded with a large current.

Immediately after switching off the warning lamp to start the engine.

During start-up, do not press the accelerator pedal.

At still unstable ignition of fuel in the engine to allow the starter to work for a few seconds (no more than half a minute), while the engine will not be able to work independently.

If the engine does not start, once again turn preheating, and then try again to start the engine as described above. If at this time will not be able to start the engine, check the fuse preheater - perhaps it is blown.

Start the engine warmed up to operating temperature

Control lamp of inclusion preroll Vågå heater does not light up - the engine can immediately start.

Starting the engine after running out of fuel from the fuel tank

If the fuel tank of a vehicle with a diesel engine was fully developed, the process of starting the engine after refueling may take longer than usual - it can take up to one minute. The reason is that the fuel supply system can be freed from the air contained in it only during engine start.
