Starting & Driving

Driving & Operating

Starting & Driving

IGNITION SWITCH

The ignition 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 ignition

motor:

NOTE: On automatic models gear selector

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

engine will start.

NOTE: When the ignition switch is at position

‘II’, a short, low pitched ‘buzz’ may be heard;

this is the ABS system priming and is no cause

for concern, see ‘ANTI-LOCK BRAKES’,

page 128. The instruments and warning lights

will also prime.

H3522

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.

Starting & Driving

STARTING

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

Never start or leave the engine running in an

unventilated building - exhaust gases are

poisonous and contain carbon monoxide,

which can cause unconsciousness and may

even be fatal.

What to do if the engine fails to start, or starts

but will not continue running:

•

Press the accelerator pedal half way down

while operating the starter. DO NOT operate

the starter for more than 15 seconds and

release the accelerator as soon as the

engine fires.

Before starting the engine and driving, ENSURE

you are familiar with the precautions shown

under ‘CATALYTIC CONVERTER’, page 110 .

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.

1. Check that the Parking brake is applied

and that the gear lever is in neutral (‘P’ or

‘N’ for automatic transmission).

2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical

equipment (including the air

conditioning).

3. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘III’ to

operate the starter motor and RELEASE

THE KEY as soon as the engine is running.

•

If the engine still fails to start, operate the

starter again, this time FULLY depressing

the accelerator pedal to clear the engine of

excess fuel. Ensure the starter motor is not

operated for more than 15 seconds and

release the accelerator pedal as soon as the

engine has started.

•

DO NOT pump the accelerator pedal during

starting.

NOTE: If starting the vehicle in cold weather at

high altitude (above 8,000 feet (2,400 m)),

adopt the above procedure as normal practice.

DO NOT press the accelerator pedal while

starting and DO NOT operate the starter for

longer than 15 seconds. If the engine fails to

start, switch off and wait for at least 10 seconds

before trying again.

Cold climates

At temperatures down to -15 o F (-26 o C), the

engine should start within 5 to 8 seconds.

Below this temperature, engine cranking times

will increase significantly and 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.

NOTE: Continued use of the starter will not only

discharge the battery, but may cause damage to

the starter motor and the catalytic converter.

NOTE: The battery charging, oil pressure and

engine malfunction indicator warning lights

should extinguish as soon as the engine is

running.

In very cold climates the oil pressure warning

light may take several seconds to extinguish.

Cylinder block heaters

Only approved cylinder block heaters restricted

to a maximum of 400 W should be used.

Cylinder block heaters that exceed this output

may damage the emission control components.

Starting & Driving

Sump heater (Canadian specification only) *

If the vehicle is left in temperatures of -15 o F

(-25 o C) or lower, the sump oil heater should be

used to improve the engines starting

characteristics.

DRIVING

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Vehicle stability

Your vehicle has a higher ground

clearance, and hence, a higher centre of

gravity than ordinary passenger cars to

enable the vehicle to perform in a wide

variety of different off-road applications.

An advantage of the higher ground

clearance is a better view of the road,

allowing the driver to more easily

anticipate problems. Inexperienced drivers

should take additional care, remembering

that your vehicle is not designed for

cornering at the same speeds as

conventional passenger cars, any more

than a low slung sports car is designed to

perform satisfactorily in off-road

conditions. As with other vehicles of this

type, failure to operate your vehicle

correctly may result in loss of control or

even vehicle rollover.

Vehicle height

The overall height of your vehicle exceeds

that of ordinary passenger cars. Always be

aware of the height of your vehicle and

check the available headroom before

driving through low entrances. This is

particularly important if the vehicle is fitted

with a roof rack or if the sunroof is tilted

open.

The heater plug connector is clipped up behind

the lower radiator grille. Unclip the cable

adjacent to the plug, and pull the plug through

the grille. Remove the protective cover from the

plug, then connect it to an appropriate electrical

supply cable socket.

The cover should always be refitted when the

heater is unplugged from the mains socket to

prevent ingress of dirt, snow, or other

contaminates. It is also recommended that the

cable and plug is cable tied to one of the grille

supports for easy use if the heater is to be used

regularly.

Automatic transmission vehicles

After starting, ensure that the Parking brake 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 begin moving immediately after the

selector lever is moved to one of the drive

positions (1, 2, 4, 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 selector lever cannot be moved from

‘P’ to a drive position while the engine is

running, unless the brake pedal is applied.

Instruments and warning lights

Before driving it is important to fully

understand the function of the instruments and

warning lights see ‘INSTRUMENT PANEL’,

page 60 .
