Starting the engine
Do not run the engine in enclosed areas; otherwise,
the inhalation of toxic exhaust gases can cause loss of consciousness and death.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless, but highly
toxic gas. Never leave an unattended vehicle with the engine running; otherwise,
such a vehicle represents a potential safety hazard.
Before leaving the car with the engine running, place the transmission in neutral or move the selector lever to position P and forcefully apply the parking brake to prevent the car from moving.
Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate engine speeds.
Avoid frequent starting in quick succession
or repeated start attempts in which the engine does not start. Otherwise, the fuel
is not burned or incompletely burned and there is a danger of overheating and damaging
the catalytic converter.
