As the car is a potential source of danger, never leave it with working engine without supervision.

Cars with the petrol engine


Without pressing an accelerator pedal, start the engine

It is not necessary to be limited to too short-term inclusion of a starter, but also it is impossible to hold its 20 seconds included more long. As soon as engine
it will be got, at once release a key.

Do not warm up the engine idling, and at once begin movement at moderate turns.

If the engine (cold or peregrety) is not got from the first, in repeated attempt of start:

Hold a pedal of an accelerator pressed approximately to a half of its course

Start of the cold engine at low temperatures (below - 15°С) and at big heights (more than 1000 m above sea level):

In the first attempt to get the engine hold a starter included slightly more long usual (about 10 seconds)

Pedal of an accelerator hold pressed approximately to a half of its course.

If you have to get often the engine at low temperatures and at big heights, replace oil in the engine with viscosity oil 5W-H (address to the section Replacement of impellent oil and the oil filter).

Cars with the diesel engine

The ignition key should be in situation 2 until the control lamp of preheat will go out

Start the engine.

At the lowest temperatures of external air the starter can be held included to 40 seconds

At the heated-up engine:


If the control lamp of preheat does not burn, at once get the engine

The pressing of a pedal of an accelerator does not influence process of start of the engine.
