SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE
MOVING

It is not advisable to switch off the engine while
the vehicle is moving. However, should such a
situation arise, then the following procedure
applies.
• Press and hold the engine START/STOP

button for 2 seconds, or;

• Press the engine START/STOP button

twice within 2 seconds.

In either case, the warning Engine stop button
pressed
will be displayed in the message
center.

ROLLING RE-START

If the engine is switched off while the vehicle is
moving, a rolling re-start can be initiated by
selecting neutral and pressing the engine
START/STOP button.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATERS

The fitting of an engine block heater does not
eliminate the need for antifreeze.

Engines are more difficult to start when the
ambient temperature is very low. In
geographical areas where temperatures below
14°F (-10°C) are experienced frequently, it is
advisable to fit an engine block heater. The
block heater will have an insulated connector at
the front of the vehicle which is connected to a
mains supply using a suitable extension cable.
The heater can remain in use overnight, if
required. Typically, an engine block heater will
use between 400W and 1000W per hour.

For further information, consult your
Dealer/Authorized Repairer.
