Bump start
If there
is a system fault a bump start can be made in this way:
• carry out the operation to activate the system (turning
the ignition key to MAR).
• after 10 seconds, check that the warning light is off.
• while the car picks up speed with the gear in idle (N)
use the control lever on the tunnel, to engage a higher
gear.
• Remember that bump starting or using downhill roads
should be avoided because these manoeuvres , if the engine
control system is not functioning properly , could cause
fuel to flow into the catalyst and cause permanent damage.
• Moreover, until the engine is running , power steering
and brake booster are not efficient regarding functioning
and driving safety.
• If the battery is completely discharged, this type of
start-up is not possible.
