Starting procedure for petrol versions

1) Ensure that the handbrake is up.

2) Put the gear lever into neutral.

3) Press the clutch pedal fully down, without pressing the accelerator.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before trying to start the engine again.

Never leave the ignition key at MAR when the engine is off.
