460_OM_MY09.book Page 126 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM 126 Starting and driving Steering wheel lock The steering wheel lock is electronic and is engaged when the remote control is withdrawn from the ignition switch. When the remote control is inserted into the ignition switch, the steering wheel lock is disengaged. A click will be heard when the steering wheel lock engages or disengages. If the car is parked with one front wheel touching the kerb, for example, you may need to turn the steering wheel slightly when you insert the remote control to allow the steering wheel lock to unlock. If you do not succeed on first attempt you must remove the remote control before trying again. Turn the steering wheel and insert the remote control into the ignition switch. If the steering wheel lock does not disengage it will not be possible to turn the remote control in the ignition switch. the following message then appears on the DIC: Pull out key, turn steering wheel. Restart. If there is a fault that may affect the function of the steering wheel lock, the following message will be displayed on the DIC: Steering lock malfunc. Make a safe stop. If the steering wheel lock malfunctions while the remote control is in the ignition switch, the lock may not engage when the remote control is removed or it may prevent the car from being restarted once the engine has been switched off. If you have to leave the car, lock the car by pressing down the lock buttons on the doors. Lock the front left door from outside with the traditional key, see page 49. The car is now locked. If the car has a car alarm, this will remain inactive. Starting the engine WARNING • When starting the engine: – Sit down in the driver’s seat. – Depress the clutch pedal fully. If the gear lever is not in the neutral position, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed or the car will jump forwards or backwards, which may cause an accident. – Never start the car from outside the vehicle, e.g. through a wound-down window. This could lead to serious personal injury. • Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, noxious gas. Be aware of the danger of CO - always open the garage doors before starting the engine in a garage. • There is also a danger of CO poisoning if the exhaust system is leaking. Air may enter the lubrication system in conjunction with an oil or oil filter change. This may also happen if the car is laid up for some time. This air can cause the hydraulic tappets to emit a ticking noise, which can persist for up to 15 minutes after starting. This is quite normal and does not indicate a malfunction. It is however advisable not to exceed 3000 rpm before the noise has disappeared.
460_OM_MY09.book Page 127 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM Starting and driving 127 Starting the engine Avoid racing the engine or loading it heavily before it has warmed up. Do not drive away before the warning and indicator lights have gone out. The engine has an automatic choke and should be started as follows: Cars with manual gearbox 1 Make sure the handbrake is applied. 2 Depress the clutch and brake pedals. Do not touch the accelerator. Note: Once the engine has started, the brake pedal will normally drop slightly. 3 Start the engine. Allow the remote control to spring back once the engine has started and is running smoothly. Allow the engine to idle for about 10 seconds. Do not apply full throttle for at least 3 minutes after starting. Cars with automatic transmission 1 The selector lever must be in the P or N position. 2 Depress the brake pedal. Note: Once the engine has started, the brake pedal will normally drop slightly. 3 Start the engine. Allow the remote control to spring back once the engine has started and is running smoothly. Allow the engine to idle for about 10 seconds. Do not apply full throttle for at least 3 minutes after starting. Useful tips on starting Petrol engine If the engine has failed to start after several attempts in severe cold, proceed as follows: 1 Turn the ignition witch to position 3 (it is vital that the ignition switch is turned to position 3 before the accelerator is depressed). 2 Press the accelerator to the floor and run the starter motor for 5–10 seconds. This will prevent the engine from being flooded (fully depressed accelerator cuts off the fuel supply). 3 Now start the engine in the normal way - do not touch the accelerator. If the engine stalls immediately after starting (e.g. if the clutch was released too quickly), do not touch the accelerator when restarting the engine. If the car has a fuel-driven parking heater 3, this will start automatically soon after the engine has been started if coolant temperature is below 84 °C. This helps the engine temperature and cabin temperature rise more quickly.
