NOTICE
Do not warm up the engine by running it with the vehicle stationary, but rather pull off as soon as you can see properly through the windows. This helps the engine reach operating temperature faster and reduces emissions.
Components with a high power consumption are switched off temporarily when the engine is started.
When starting from cold, the engine may be a little noisy for the first few seconds. This is quite normal, and no cause for concern.
At outside temperatures of less than +5° C (+41° F), fumes may be detected under the vehicle if the fuel pre-heater is switched on.
