Starting the engine
Do not run the engine in closed rooms, 
otherwise the inhalation of toxic exhaust 
gases can cause unconsciousness and death. 
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, 
an odorless and colorless, but highly toxic gas. 
Never leave an unattended vehicle with the 
engine running, otherwise such a vehicle repre-
sents a potential safety hazard. 
Before leaving the car with the engine running, 
place the transmission in neutral and forcefully 
apply the parking brake to prevent the car from 
moving.

Avoid frequent starting in quick succes-
sion as well as repeated start attempts in

fuel is not burned or incompletely burned and 
there is a danger of overheating and damaging 
the catalytic converter.

Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the
