STARTING SAFETY [G3132704]

WARNING:

Never start the engine and leave it running when the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Exhaust gases are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.

WARNING:

Do not sleep or rest with the vehicle switched on or left in a driveable condition. Unintentional operation can cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION:

If the engine fails to start, do not continue cranking, as this discharges the battery. The catalytic converter may also be damaged due to unburnt fuel passing through the exhaust.

NOTE:

The smart key may not be detected if placed within a metal container, or shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen. For example, a smartphone, laptop, including when inside a laptop bag, or a games console. Keep the smart key clear of such devices when attempting keyless entry, an engine start, or the engine start backup procedure.

NOTE:

On some engine variants, the engine automatically shuts down if left running for a prolonged period. Before the engine shuts down, the instrument panel displays a warning message. The warning message provides an opportunity for the driver to press the brake pedal to keep the engine running.
