STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR
STARTING & STOPPING THE ENGINE
observations are for few seconds only, and in order to
contain the happening, it is suggested that after idle run
of 30 seconds on a cold engine start, the car can be
driven off.
The above white smoke at altitude in cold condition from
diesel engine is a normal happening, and due to temporary
effect of atmospheric pressure. This in no way will affect
the engine performance or the ecology.
Starting the engine with a malfunction (Petrol):
• Press the clutch pedal and turn the ignition key to 'IGN'
position.
• Press the accelerator pedal by 1/4th of full travel. Do not
depress the accelerator pedal fully down.
• Crank the engine. If the engine starts, car may be driven
to nearest authorised service outlet, even though
“CHECK ENGINE” (BS-III)“MIL” (BS-IV) lamp is
indicating a malfunction.
• In the above condition engine may stall if the accelerator
pedal is released back to idle position
.
• If engine stalls, repeat the above procedure from
beginning & drive the car without releasing the
accelerator pedal to 'Idle' position.
Stopping the Engine :
• Let the car come to a stop and engine to idle.
• Turn the key to “OFF”position
Parking :
• Park the car in a safe place. Switch on the indicator
signal before turning to park.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Ensure that all window glasses are closed & all lamps
are turned 'OFF'.
• At night, put on the parking lights if required.
• Remove the key from the ignition switch.
• Place wheel chokes at the wheels if parked on a slope.
Read the Parking Brake section in “BEFORE DRIVING”
for precautions on how to park the vehicle on a slope.
WARNING
Do not leave the key inside the car.
Do not leave children unattended in the car.
Avoid parking the car over inflammable materials, such
as dry leaves, grass etc., as the exhaust system is hot
enough to initiate 'FIRE'.
