Starter switch & steering lock

H2480

STARTER SWITCH

The starter switch is located to the right of the

steering column, and uses the following

sequence of key positions to operate the

steering lock, electrical circuits and starter

motor:

Position ’0’

• Steering locked (if key is removed).

• Most lighting circuits are operational,

including: sidelights, headlights and

hazard warning lights.

Position ’I’

• Steering unlocked.

• Clock, radio/cassette player and cigar

lighter can now be operated.

Position ’II’

• All instruments, warning lights and

electrical circuits are operational.

Position ’III’

• Starter motor operates.

Release the key immediately the engine

starts (the key will automatically return to

position ’II’). Note that operation of

position ’I’ electrical functions will be

interrupted during engine cranking.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

To unlock the steering column

Insert the key FULLY and turn the starter

switch to position ’I’. A small movement of the

steering wheel may be necessary to disengage

the steering lock while turning the switch.

To lock the steering column

Turn the key to position ’0’ and withdraw it

from the starter switch. Turn the steering

wheel slightly until the lock engages.

WARNING

Once the steering lock is engaged, it is

impossible to steer the vehicle. DO NOT

remove the key or turn the starter switch to

position ’0’ while the vehicle is in motion.

NOTE: On automatic models gear selector

position ’P’ or ’N’ must be selected before the

engine will start.

Starting & driving

STARTING - PETROL ENGINE

Before starting the engine and driving,

ENSURE you are familiar with the precautions

shown under ’Catalytic converter’ later in this

section.

In particular, you should be aware that if the

engine fails to start, continued use of the

starter may result in unburnt fuel damaging

the catalytic converter.

Starting

1. Check that the handbrake is applied and

that the gear lever is in neutral (’P’ or ’N’

for automatic transmission).

2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical

equipment.

3. Turn the starter switch to position ’II’ and

then on to position ’III’ to operate the

starter motor. DO NOT press the

accelerator pedal while starting, and

RELEASE THE KEY as soon as the engine

is running.

STARTING - DIESEL ENGINE

1. Check that the handbrake is applied and

that the gear lever is in neutral (’P’ or ’N’

for automatic transmission).

2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical

equipment.

3. Insert the starter key and turn the switch

to position ’II’. Wait until the glow plug

warning light extinguishes.

NOTE: The waiting time will vary according to

the engine coolant temperature (when the

engine is hot, the glow plug warning light will

extinguish almost immediately).

4. Turn the key to position ’III’ to operate the

starter motor. DO NOT press the

accelerator pedal while starting. RELEASE

THE KEY as soon as the engine is running.

If the engine stalls or fails to start, you MUST

return the starter switch to position ’I’ before

attempting to restart; the engine will not start

by turning the starter switch from position ’II’.

WARNING

The diesel engine must not be run above

idle speed until the oil pressure warning

light extinguishes. This will ensure that the

engine and turbo-charger bearings are

properly lubricated before being run at

speed.

Similarly, ALWAYS allow the engine to idle

for 10 seconds before switching off.

Starting & driving

STARTING - GENERAL INFORMATION

In temperate climates DO NOT operate the

starter for longer than 10 seconds. If the

engine fails to start, switch off and wait 10

seconds before re-using the starter. Please

note that continued use of the starter will

discharge the battery and may cause the

starter motor to overheat.

Automatic gearbox vehicles

After starting, ensure that the handbrake and

foot brake are firmly applied and the

accelerator pedal is not depressed while

moving the gear selector lever from ’N’ or ’P’,

otherwise, the vehicle may move immediately

the selector lever is moved to one of the drive

positions (1,2,3,D or R). This is particularly

important when the engine is cold, because

the engine will be idling at a faster speed than

normal.

NOTE: The battery charging and oil pressure

warning lights should extinguish as soon as

the engine is running.

In cold weather, or when the battery is in a

low state of charge, on manual gearbox

vehicles depress the clutch pedal while

starting and hold it down until the engine is

running. This will reduce the load on the

battery.

WARNING

Exhaust fumes contain poisonous

substances which can cause

unconsciousness and may even be fatal.

• DO NOT inhale exhaust gases.

• DO NOT start or leave the engine running

in an enclosed unventilated area, or

drive with the taildoor open.

• DO NOT modify the exhaust system from

the original design.

• ALWAYS repair exhaust system leaks

immediately.

• If you think exhaust fumes are entering

the vehicle have the cause determined

and corrected immediately.

Cold climates

In very cold climates the oil pressure warning

light may take several seconds to extinguish.

Similarly, engine cranking times will also

increase; at -30 ° C the starter motor may need

to be operated continuously for as long as 30

seconds before the engine will start. For this

reason, ensure that all non-essential electrical

equipment is switched off.

Block heaters

Only approved block heaters restricted to a

maximum of 400 W should be used. Block

heaters that exceed this output may damage

the emission control components.

Cold weather starting

In cold climates or in conditions where the

ambient temperature has dropped below -5 °

C, if the engine fails to start after three

attempts, fully depress the accelerator pedal

while operating the starter. Release the

accelerator pedal immediately the engine

starts.
