Starting the engine: Press and hold the brake pedal until the engine starts. Press the starter button ››› Fig. 240; do not press the accelerator.
There needs to be a valid key inside the vehicle for the engine to start. After starting the engine, the lighting of the START ENGINE STOP button changes to steady lighting, indicating that the engine has started. Once the engine starts, release the start-up button.
If the engine does not start, stop and wait for around 1 minute to try again. Diesel engines can take a few seconds longer than usual to start on cold days. During preheating, the warning lamp remains lit. To avoid unnecessary discharging of the battery, do not use any other major electrical equipment while the glow plugs are preheating. The preheating time depends on the coolant and exterior temperatures. With the engine at operating temperature, or at outside temperatures above +8°C, the warning lamp will light up for about one second. This means that the engine starts immediately.
