Introduction

Owner's manual

A good way of getting to know your new car
is to read the owner's manual, ideally before
your first journey. This will give you the
opportunity to familiarise yourself with new
functions, to see how best to handle the car
in different situations, and to make the best
use of all the car's features. Please pay
attention to the safety instructions contained
in the manual:

The equipment described in the owner's
manual is not present in all models. In
addition to standard equipment, this manual
also describes options (factory fitted
equipment) and certain accessories (extra
equipment).

WARNING!

Warning texts indicate where there is a
risk of personal injury in the event of the
instructions not being followed.

IMPORTANT!

Caution texts indicate a risk of damage to
the car in the event of the instructions not
being followed.

NOTE! Volvo cars are differently equipped
depending on the requirements of the
different markets and the national or local
legal requirements and regulations.

The specifications, design features and
illustrations in this Owner’s Manual are not
binding. We reserve the right to make

Introduction

Volvo Cars’ Environmental
philosophy

Environmental care, safety and quality are the
three core values which influence all
operations of the Volvo Car Corporation.
Volvo cars comply with strict international
environmental standards and are
manufactured in plants, which are among the
cleanest and most resource-efficient in the
world. Most units within Volvo Car
Corporation are certified to the environmental
standards ISO 14001 or EMAS, which leads
to continuous improvements within the area
of the environment. Volvo Cars is the first car
manufacturer to have a third-party certified
environmental declaration where the
customer can compare the environmental
effects of different models and engines. Read

Clean inside and out

Your Volvo is built to be "Clean inside and
out", a concept which means you benefit in
two ways - from a clean cabin and a highly
efficient exhaust purification system. Your car
saves fuel and releases minimal quantities of
harmful substances. It also ensures that you
and your passengers do not inhale emissions
from other cars by cleaning the air that comes
into the passenger compartment. A
sophisticated air cleaning system ensures
that the air in the passenger compartment is
cleaner than the air outside. The interior is
free of allergenic substances and there is a

special coating, Premair®

1

, on the radiator
which converts dangerous ground level
ozone to pure oxygen.

Applies to cars with five cylinder engines.

Volvo's workshops and the
environment

Regular maintenance at a Volvo workshop
creates the conditions for low fuel
consumption and thus contributes to a
cleaner environment. The personnel have the
knowledge and tools to guarantee the best
possible environmental care.

Introduction

Save the environment

We believe that our customers share our
concerns about the environment. You can
help save the environment by purchasing
environmentally optimised car care products
and by servicing and maintaining the car
according to the instructions in the owner’s
manual.

Below are a few tips on how to save the
environment:

• Always ensure that the tyres are at the
correct pressure. Too low tyre pressure
results in increased fuel consumption.

• The roof rack and ski-boxes have greater
air resistance and raise fuel
consumption considerably. Remove
them directly after use.

• Remove unnecessary items from the
car. The greater the load, the higher the
fuel consumption.

• Always use the engine block heater
before a cold start, if the car is equipped
with one. This will reduce fuel
consumption and emissions.

• Drive gently. Avoid unnecessary quick
acceleration and heavy braking.

• Drive in the highest gear possible. Low
engine rpm gives lower consumption.

• Relax the accelerator pedal on downhill
slopes.

• Use engine braking. Release the
accelerator and change down.

• Avoid idling. Switch off the engine when
queuing in traffic.

• Remember to dispose of hazardous
waste, e.g. batteries and oil, in an
environmentally favourable manner. Seek
advice from your Volvo workshop if
unsure about disposal.

• Maintain the ignition and fuel systems,
which directly reduce exhaust
emissions.

By following this advice fuel consumption can
be reduced without affecting either the
journey time or the enjoyment of driving. You
preserve the car, money and the planet's
resources.

Safety

Extending the lap belt. The belt must be
positioned low down.

Always use a seat belt

Braking could have serious consequences if
the seat belt is not used. Ensure that all
passengers are wearing their seatbelts.
Otherwise, rear seat passengers may be
thrown against the front seat backrests in a
collision.

Putting on the seat belt:

• Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by
inserting the locking tab into the lock. A
loud "click" indicates that the belt is
locked.

Seat belts

Release the belt:

• Press the red button in the lock and
allow the reel to retract the belt. If the
belt is not completely retracted, feed in
the belt manually to prevent it from
hanging loose.

The belt is restricted and cannot be pulled
out further:

• if it is pulled out too fast

• during braking and acceleration

• if the car leans heavily.

It is important that the belt lies snugly against
the body so it can provide maximum
protection. Do not lean the backrest too far
back. The seat belt is designed to protect in
a normal seating position.

Keep the following in mind:

• do not use clips or anything else that
prevents the belt from fitting correctly

• ensure the belt is not twisted or caught
on anything

• the lap belt must sit low down (not over
the abdomen)

• stretch the lap belt over the lap by
pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as
illustrated.

WARNING!

The seat belt and airbag operate
together. If the seatbelt is not used or is
incorrectly used airbag operation can be
affected in the event of a collision.

WARNING!

Each belt is intended for one person
only.

WARNING!

• If the belt has been exposed to a major
load, in a collision for example, the entire
belt must be replaced. This includes
reels, mountings, screws and locks.
Some of the protective characteristics of
the belt may have been lost, even if the
belt does not appear to be damaged.
Replace the seat belt if it is worn or
damaged. The new seat belt must be
approved and intended for installation in
the same position as the replaced belt.

• Never modify or repair the seatbelts
yourself. Contact a Volvo workshop.

Safety

Seat belt reminder

1

A symbol lights up in the roof console (above
the rearview mirror) as a reminder that the
seat belt is not being worn. A symbol also
lights up on the dashboard. If the car is
stationary, the reminder disappears after
approximately 6 seconds.

Front seat

The symbols remain lit if the driver or front
passenger is not wearing their seat belt. (No
signal is given if a child seat is installed in the
front seat.) In addition to the two lit symbols,

1

The functions may vary slightly depending
on the market

an audible signal is heard that changes
frequency depending on the speed of the car.

Rear seat

The seat belt reminder is activated if a
passenger in the rear seat takes off the seat
belt during a journey. If one of the rear doors
is opened and closed, the system checks for
ten seconds how many of the seat belts are
in use and presents this number in the
information display, e.g. 2-3 REAR BELTS IN
USE. No light or audible reminder is given.
This only takes place when a seat belt is
removed.

The seat belt reminder for the rear seat can
be switched off:

• Hold in the READ-button on the left-
hand steering wheel stalk until a
message verifies that the function has
been switched off.

Pregnant women

Pregnant women must take particular care
when securing the seat belt. Position the belt
so that it does not exert unnecessary
pressure on the womb. The lap belt of the
three-point seat belt should be low.

16

Safety

Seat belt tensioner

All the seat belts (with the exception of the
rear centre position) have seat belt
tensioners. This is a mechanism which, at the
moment of impact, tensions the seatbelt
around the body. The belt therefore restrains
the passenger more quickly.

Marking on seat belts with seat belt
tensioners

17

Safety

Driver’s airbag

In addition to the seat belts, the car has an
airbag (SRS - Supplemental Restraint
System) in the steering wheel. The airbag is
folded into the centre of the steering wheel.
The wheel is marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING!

The seat belt and airbag operate
together. If the seatbelt is not used or is
incorrectly used airbag operation can be
affected in the event of a collision.

Airbags

Front passenger airbag

1

The airbag on the passenger side is
folded up in a compartment above the
glove box. The panel is marked SRS
AIRBAG.

1

Not all cars have passenger side air bags. It
can be optionally excluded at purchase.

WARNING!

To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright
as possible with their feet on the floor
and backs against the backrest. Seat
belts should be secured.

WARNING!

• No objects or accessories may be
positioned or stuck on, or near, the
SRS AIRBAG panel (above the glove
box) or in the area affected by the
airbag.

• Never interfere with SRS
components in the steering wheel or
the panel above the glove box.

WARNING!

• Never place a child seat or booster
cushion on the passenger seat if the
car has an airbag on the passenger
side.

• Never allow a child to stand or sit in
front of the front passenger seat.

• No one shorter than 140 cm (4 ft 7)
should sit in the front passenger
seat.

18

Safety

Location of the airbag on the passenger
side, left-hand drive/right-hand drive cars

Warning symbol in the centre of
the dashboard

The SRS system is continuously monitored
by the car's electronic system. The warning
symbol in the combined instrument panel
lights when the ignition key is turned to
positions I, II or III. The symbol goes out
after approximately six seconds if the SRS
system is fault-free.

As well as the symbol, a
message appears in the
information display. If the

warning symbol is defective,
the warning triangle is lit and
the message SRS AIRBAG
SERVICE URGENT appears
in the display.

WARNING!

If the SRS warning symbol remains lit or
lights while driving, it means that the
SRS system is not functioning fully. The
symbol can also indicate a fault in the
seat belt buckle, the SIPS or the IC
system. Contact a Volvo workshop
immediately.

Safety

SRS system, left-hand drive

SRS System

The system consists of a gas generator (1)
surrounded by the inflatable airbag (2). Upon
a sufficiently violent collision, sensors (3)
react, activating the gas generator igniters
and the airbag inflates as it heats up. To
cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when
compressed. When this occurs, smoke also
escapes into the car. This is completely
normal. The entire process, including inflation
and deflation of the airbag, occurs in tenths of
a second.

SRS system, right-hand drive.

NOTE! The sensors (3) react differently
depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the driver or passenger side seat
belts are in use. Crash situations may occur
where only one airbag is deployed. In a
collision, the SRS system sensors detect the
deceleration caused by the collision. The
system determines if the collision is of the
character and nature requiring one or more
airbags to deploy to protect the occupants.

NOTE! In certain collisions, only one (or no)
airbag is activated.

Dual-stage airbags

(Volvo Dual-Stage Airbag)
If a collision is mild but sufficiently violent that
there is a risk of personal injury, the airbags
are partially inflated. If the collision is more
severe, the airbags are inflated fully.

WARNING!

Any interference in the SRS system
could cause malfunction and serious
injury.
Repair work may only be performed by a
Volvo workshop.

20

Safety

Side airbags - SIPS bag

A large proportion of the collision force is
distributed by SIPS to the members, posts,
floor, roof and other parts of the car body.
The side airbags protect the chest and are an
important part of SIPS. The SIPS airbag
system consists of two main components:
Side airbags and sensors. The side airbags
are installed in the frames of the front seat
backrests and the sensors are located on the
insides of the centre and rear pillars.

WARNING!

The side airbags supplement the
existing SIPS system. Always use seat
belts.

Side airbags

WARNING!

• Any interference with the SIPS (side
impact protection system) airbag
system could cause malfunction and
serious injury. Contact a Volvo
Workshop instead.

• No objects or accessories may be
placed between the outer side of the
seat and the door panel because this
area may be affected by the side
airbag.

Child seats and side airbags

A child seat/booster cushion can be placed
in the front seat as long as the car is not
equipped with an airbag on the passenger
side.

WARNING!

Only use Volvo upholstery or upholstery
approved by Volvo. Other upholstery
may impede the function of the side
airbags.

21

Safety

Left-hand drive

Side impact protection system
(SIPS)

The SIPS airbag consists of a gas generator
(1), side airbag(2) and sensors (3). When a
sufficiently violent collision occurs, the
sensors react and activate the gas generator
which inflates the side airbag. The airbag
inflates between the occupant and the door
panel, cushioning the impact at the moment
of collision, and then deflates. Normally, only
the side airbag on the side of the collision
inflates.

Right-hand drive

22

Safety

Properties

The inflatable curtain supplements the
existing SIPS system. The inflatable curtain is
concealed in the headlining along both sides
of the car. It protects both the front and rear
seat. If the car is hit from the side, the
inflatable curtain deploys within a few
thousandths of a second. It is then inflated for
approximately three seconds to provide
maximum protection in the event of a
complicated, severe collision. The inflatable
curtain is activated by the SIPS system
collision sensors if the car is hit from the side.
The inflatable curtain is filled with gas when
activated. The inflatable curtain helps to
prevent the driver's and passengers heads
from hitting the inside of the car in the event
of a collision.

Inflatable curtain

WARNING!

• Never hang or secure anything from
the handles in the roof. The hook is
only intended for light outer garments
(not for hard objects such as
umbrellas).

• Do not screw to, or mount anything
on the headlining, door pillars or side
panels. The intended protection may
then be compromised. Only Volvo
Genuine parts that are approved for
placement in these areas should be
used.

WARNING!

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seat belt.
Always use a seat belt.

23

Safety

Protection against whiplash
injuries - WHIPS

The WHIPS system ( Whiplash Protection
System) consists of energy absorbing
backrests and specially developed head
restraints in both front seats. The system is
activated upon a collision from behind, based
on the collision angle, speed and nature of
the colliding vehicle.

WARNING!

The WHIPS system is a supplement to
the seat belt. Always use seat belts.

WHIPS

The seat's properties

When the WHIPS system is activated the
front seat backrests fall backwards to alter
the position of the driver's and passengers in
the front. This diminishes the risk of whiplash
injury.

Correct seating position

For the best possible protection, the driver
and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little distance as
possible between the head restraints and
head.

WHIPS system and child seats

The WHIPS system does not negatively
affect the protective properties of the car with
regard to child seats.

WARNING!

• If the seat has been exposed to a heavy
load strain, such as in a rear-end
collision, the WHIPS system must be
inspected by a Volvo workshop.

• Even if the seat seems undamaged,
some of the protective properties of
the WHIPS system may have been
lost. Contact a Volvo workshop to
check the system, even after minor
rear end collisions.

WARNING!

Never modify or repair the seat or
WHIPS system yourself. Contact a
Volvo workshop.

24

Safety

The following can be used:

• a child seat in the front passenger seat,
provided that the airbag on the
passenger side has been deactivated.

• a rear facing child seat in the rear seat
supported against the backrest of the
front seat.

Do not hinder the function of the
WHIPS system

WARNING!

If a rear backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it is not in contact with
the folded backrest.

WARNING!

Do not place a box or similar cargo so
that it is squeezed between the seat
cushion of the rear seat and the backrest
of the front seat. Be sure to never hinder
the function of the WHIPS system.

25

Safety

If the airbags have been deployed, we
recommend the following:

• Tow the car to a Volvo workshop. Never
drive with deployed airbags.

• Let a Volvo workshop replace
components in the car's safety system.

• The airbags do not always deploy in the
event of a frontal collision. This means
that the function was not needed at that
moment and the passengers were
protected by the other safety systems of
the car.

NOTE! The SRS, SIPS and IC systems are
only deployed once in a collision.

System Triggered

Seat belt tensioner In frontal collisions. The seat belt is tensioned around the body to restrain the passenger more quickly.

Airbags (SRS) In collisions if there is a risk that front seat passengers could be injured by hitting the dashboard or

steering wheel.

Side airbags SIPS In side-on collisions if the car is hit with sufficient force.

Inflatable Curtain (IC) In side-on collisions. The curtain reduces the risk of head injuries.

Whiplash protection (WHIPS) When hit from behind. Reduces the risk of whiplash.

When are the safety systems activated?

WARNING!

The SRS system sensor is located in the
centre console. Disconnect the battery
cables if the floor of the passenger
compartment has been drenched with
water. Do not try to start the car, as the
airbags may deploy. Have the car
recovered to a Volvo workshop.

WARNING!

Never drive with deployed airbags.
This may make the car difficult to steer.
Other safety systems may also be
damaged. Intense exposure to the
smoke and dust released when the air
bags are deployed can cause skin and
eye irritation. In case of problems, wash
with cold water and contact a doctor.
The speed of the deployment and the
airbag fabric may cause friction burns on
the skin.

26

Safety

Driving after a collision

If the car has been involved in a collision, the
text CRASH MODE - SEE MANUAL may
appear in the information display. This means
the functionality of the car has been reduced.
CRASH MODE is a safety feature that
comes into effect when the collision could
have damaged an important function in the
car, for example fuel lines, sensors for one of
the safety systems or the brake system.

Crash mode

Attempting to start the car

First check that no fuel has escaped from the
car. There should not be any fuel odour.

If everything appears normal and you have
checked for fuel leakage, you may attempt to
start the car.

• First remove the ignition key, then
reinsert it. The car's electronics will try
to reset themselves to normal mode.
Then try to start the car.

WARNING!

Never try to repair the car yourself or to
reset the electronics after the car has
been in CRASH MODE. This could
result in injury or the car not functioning
as normal. Always allow a Volvo
workshop to handle checking and
restoring the car to normal status after
CRASH MODE has been displayed.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to restart the car under
any circumstances if there is any fuel
odour when the CRASH MODE
message is displayed. Leave the car
immediately.

Moving the car

If the normal mode is displayed after the
CRASH MODE has been reset, the car may
be moved carefully out of its present
dangerous position. Do not move the car
further than necessary.

Recovery

Even if the car appears driveable after it has
been put into CRASH MODE, it should not
be driven or towed. When travelling,
concealed damage can make the car
impossible to manoeuvre.

WARNING!

The car may not be towed once it has be
put in CRASH MODE. It must be
recovered from its present location to a
Volvo workshop.

Volvo has child safety products that are
designed for and tested by Volvo.

WARNING!

If an integrated booster cushion has
been exposed to a major load, in a
collision for example, the entire booster
cushion must be replaced. This includes
the seat belt, complete with bolts. Even
if the booster cushion appears
undamaged, some of the protective
properties may have been lost. The
booster cushion must be replaced if it is
worn.

When using other products that are available
on the market, it is important to read the
installation instructions that accompany the
product and to follow them carefully.

• Do not attach the child seat straps to
the horizontal adjustment bar, springs or
the rails and struts under the seat.
Sharp edges may damage the mounting
straps.

• Allow the backrest of the child seat to
rest against the dashboard. This applies
to cars that do not have a passenger
side airbag or if the airbag is
deactivated.

• Never place a child seat on the front
seat if the car has a passenger side
airbag that is not deactivated. If there
are any problems with installation of
child safety products, contact the
manufacturer for clearer installation
instructions.

The system has four functions which are
shown in the display:

• Average speed

• Current fuel consumption

• Average fuel consumption

• Range to empty fuel tank

Average speed

When the ignition is switched off, the
average speed is stored and used as the
basis of the new value when you continue
driving. Reset using the RESET button (C).

Current fuel consumption

Present fuel consumption is calculated every
second. The information in the display is
updated every couple of seconds. When the
car is stationary, “----“ appears in the display.

Average fuel consumption

Climate control

Air conditioning – A/C

The climate control system cools or heats
and dehumidifies the air in the passenger
compartment. The car has either manual
(MCC) or automatic (ECC) climate control.

NOTE! The air conditioning can be switched
off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger
compartment and to prevent the windows
from misting it should always be on (even at
temperatures of 0-15°C.).

Misting on window interiors

Reduce the problem of fogging by wiping the
inside of the windows. Use a normal window
cleaner.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate
control air intake (the grille between the
bonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracing

Your Volvo workshop has the instruments
and tools required for any fault tracing or
repair of your climate control system. Entrust
checks and repairs only to trained personnel.

General information about climate control

Refrigerant

Refrigerant R134a is in the air conditioning
system. This contains no chlorine, which
means it is harmless to the ozone layer. Only
use R134a when filling/changing refrigerant.
Have a Volvo workshop carry out this work.

Passenger compartment filter

All air which enters the passenger
compartment is cleaned by a filter. This must
be regularly replaced. Follow the Volvo
Service Programme for the recommended
replacement interval. If the car is used in a
severely contaminated environment, it may be
necessary to replace the filter more often.

NOTE! There are two different types of
passenger compartment ventilation filter.
Ensure that the correct filter is installed.

Display

There is a display above the climate control
panel. This is where the climate settings are
displayed.

Personal preferences

The climate control system can be set to two
functions:

• Fan speed to AUTO mode (only applies
to cars with ECC).

• Timer controlled recirculation of the air
in the passenger compartment.

For information about settings see page 57 .

Starting and driving

Economical driving

Economical driving results from driving gently
with anticipation and adapting your driving
style and speed to the prevailing conditions.

• Run the engine to operating temperature

as soon as possible.

• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at

light load as soon as possible.

• A cold engine consumes more fuel than

a warm one.

• Avoid unnecessary quick acceleration

and heavy braking.

• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in

the car.

• Do not use winter tyres on dry roads.

• Remove the roof rack when it is not in

use.

• Avoid driving with open windows.

Slippery surfaces

Driving on slippery surfaces can be
experienced differently. Practice driving in
mock slippery conditions in order to
determine how the car will react.

Engine and cooling system

Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in
hilly terrain or with a heavy load, there is a risk
of the engine and cooling system
overheating.

General

Avoid overheating the cooling system

• Drive at low speeds if driving with a
trailer up a long, steep incline.

• Do not turn the engine off immediately
you stop if the car has been driven hard.

• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille if driving in extreme high
temperatures.

Avoid overheating the engine

• Do not drive the car above 4500 rpm
when towing a trailer or caravan in hilly
areas. The oil temperature may rise too
high.

Open boot lid

Avoid driving with an open boot lid. If you
must drive a short distance with the boot lid
open, do as follows:

• Close all windows.

• Distribute the air between the
windscreen and floor and run the fan at
high speed.

WARNING!

Do not drive with an open boot lid.
Poisonous exhaust gases could be
drawn into the car via the cargo
compartment.

Do not overload the battery

The electrical functions of the car load the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid leaving the
ignition key in position II when the engine is
switched off. Use position I instead. Less
power will then be consumed. Remove the
key if no functions are required. Less power
will then be consumed.

NOTE! The 12 volt socket in the cargo
compartment provides voltage even when
the ignition key has been removed.

Examples of functions that draw a lot of
current are:

• blower fan

• windscreen wipers

• audio equipment (high volume)

• parking lamps
Be aware of different accessories that load

the electrical system. Do not use functions
that draw a lot of current when the engine is
switched off.
If the battery charge is low, a message is
shown in the display. Charge the battery by
starting the engine.

95

Starting and driving

Switch off the fuel driven heater before
refuelling.

Opening the fuel filler flap

The fuel tank filler flap is unlocked and
opened using the central button under the
light switch on the dashboard. The flap is
folded out.

Closing

Press the flap into the body until it clicks.

Emergency opening

If the flap does not open, it can be opened
manually from inside the cargo compartment.
Once the interior upholstery is moved to one
side, there is a handle visible by the lock
mechanism for the flap. Pull it straight back.

Refuelling

Fuel cap

The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the
right rear wing.
There may be overpressure in the tank if
outdoor temperatures are high. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
Reinstall the cap after refuelling. Turn until a
click is heard.

Fuel driven heater (option)

Filling with petrol

WARNING!

Switch off the fuel driven heater before
beginning refuelling.
Spilled fuel could be ignited by the
exhaust gases.

IMPORTANT!

Petrol engine cars must always be
refuelled with unleaded petrol to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter.

Filling with diesel

At low temperatures, paraffin can precipitate
out of diesel fuel (–5°C- –40°C). This can
cause problems when starting.

IMPORTANT!

Do not add any cleaning agents to the
petrol, unless recommended by Volvo.

WARNING!

Never carry a switched on mobile phone
when refuelling. The ring tone can
generate sparks, igniting the fuel
vapours. This could cause a fire and
result in injury.

IMPORTANT!

Use special winter fuel during the cold
season.

96

Starting and driving

Depending on the engine temperature when
starting, the engine speed after a cold start
may be higher than normal for certain engine
types. Volvo strives to minimise exhaust
emissions by having the engine exhaust
system reach the correct operating
temperature as quickly as possible.

NOTE! Never rev the engine hard
immediately after a cold start.
Contact a Volvo workshop if the engine
does not start or misfires.

Start petrol engines as follows

1. Apply the handbrake.

2. Automatic gearbox:
Move the gear selector to position P or N.

WARNING!

Never remove the ignition key from the
steering wheel lock while driving or while
the car is being towed. Never switch off
the ignition or remove the ignition key
while the car is moving. This could
engage the steering wheel lock, making
the car impossible to steer.

Starting the car

Manual gearbox:

Move the gear lever to neutral and hold
the clutch pedal completely depressed.
This is especially important in severe
cold.

3. Turn the ignition key to the start position.
If the engine does not start within 5-10
seconds, release the key and try again.

Start diesel engines as follows

1. Apply the handbrake.

2. Automatic gearbox:
Move the gear selector to position P or

N .
Manual gearbox:
