Starting the Engine

NOTE: On initial drive away from cold and within the first 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress the accelerator pedal beyond half travel until the vehicle has attained a minimum speed of 25 km/h (15 miles/h). Never operate at high engine speed or with the accelerator pedal at full travel whilst the engine is cold.

With the ignition switched off, check:

• that the parking brake is applied.
• that the gear lever is in the neutral position.
• that all instrument gauges (except fuel gauge) read zero.

With the ignition switched on, check:

• that the ignition controlled warning lamps are illuminated.
• that the engine temperature gauge registers a reading compatible with the engine temperature.
• that the fuel gauge registers a reading appropriate to the fuel level in the tank.
• the operation of the parking brake warning lamp and fluid level warning indicator.
