NOTICE
Do not warm up the engine by running it while the vehicle is stationary. Instead, pull off as soon as there is good visibility through the windows. This helps the engine to reach operating temperature more quickly and reduces emissions.
Components with a high power consumption are switched off temporarily when the engine is started.
When starting from cold, the engine may be a little noisy for the first few seconds. This is quite normal, and no cause for concern.
