To remove the loadspace cover: 1.Slide the retracted cover firmly to the right. 2.Lift the left hand end of the cover from its location. 3.Carefully manoeuvre the cover from the rear of the vehicle. Refitting the loadspace cover is the reverse of the removal procedure. NOTE: Removal of the loadspace cover may be eased by folding the rear seat backrest forward. WARNING DO NOT carry loose items of luggage on top of the loadspace cover - these may obscure vision and could become dangerous projectiles in the event of a sudden stop or collision. All equipment, luggage or tools carried in the loadspace should be secured to reduce the risk of injury to the driver and passengers in the event of an accident or emergency manoeuvre. DO NOT store the loadspace cover loose in the vehicle. H5245

Starting & Driving 109 Driving & Operating S ta rting & Driv in gIGNITION SWITCH The ignition switch is located to the right of the steering column, and uses the following sequence of key positions to operate the steering lock, electrical circuits and ignition motor: Position ‘0’ •Steering locked (if key is removed). •Most lighting circuits are operational, including: sidelamps, headlamps and hazard warning lamps. Position ‘I’ •Steering unlocked. •Clock, radio/cassette player and cigar lighter can now be operated. Position ‘II’ •All instruments, warning lights and electrical circuits are operational. Position ‘III’ •Starter motor operates. Release the key immediately the engine starts (the key will automatically return to position II). Note that operation of position ‘I electrical functions will be interrupted during engine cranking.WARNING To prevent loss of steering control, do not under any circumstances, turn the key to the ‘O’ position while the vehicle is moving. to prevent the steering column lock engaging, it is most important that, before the vehicle is moved in any way, the key be inserted in the lock and turned to position ‘I’. If, due to an accident or electrical fault, it is not safe to turn the key, disconnect the negative lead of the battery and then turn the key. NOTE: Gear selector position ‘P’ or ‘N’ must be selected before the engine will start, and ‘P’ must be selected before the starter key can be removed. NOTE: When the ignition switch is at position ‘II’, a short, low pitched ‘buzz’ may be heard; this is the ABS system priming and is no cause for concern, see ‘ANTI-LOCK BRAKES’, page 132. The instruments and warning lights will also prime. H3522
Starting & Driving 110 STARTING WARNING Never start or leave the engine running in an unventilated building - exhaust gases are poisonous and contain carbon monoxide, which can cause unconsciousness and may even be fatal. Before starting the engine and driving, ENSURE you are familiar with the precautions shown under ‘CATALYTIC CONVERTER’, page 114. In particular, you should be aware that if the engine fails to start, continued use of the starter may result in unburnt fuel damaging the catalytic converter. 1.Check that the Parking brake is applied and that the gear lever is in neutral (P or N for automatic transmission). 2.Switch off all unnecessary electrical equipment (including the air conditioning). 3.Turn the ignition switch to position III to operate the starter motor and RELEASE THE KEY as soon as the engine is running. DO NOT press the accelerator pedal while starting and DO NOT operate the starter for longer than 15 seconds. If the engine fails to start, switch off and wait for at least 10 seconds before trying again. NOTE: Continued use of the starter will not only discharge the battery, but may cause damage to the starter motor and the catalytic converter. NOTE: The battery charging, oil pressure and engine malfunction indicator warning lights should extinguish as soon as the engine is running.After starting, ensure that the Parking brake and foot brake are firmly applied and the accelerator pedal is not depressed while moving the gear selector lever from N or P, otherwise, the vehicle may begin moving immediately after the selector lever is moved to one of the drive positions (1, 2, 4, D or R). This is particularly important when the engine is cold, because the engine will be idling at a faster speed than normal. NOTE: The selector lever cannot be moved from ‘P’ to a drive position while the engine is running, unless the brake pedal is applied. What to do if the engine fails to start, or starts but will not continue running: 1.Press the accelerator pedal half way down while operating the starter. DO NOT operate the starter for more than 15 seconds and release the accelerator as soon as the engine fires. 2.If the engine still fails to start, operate the starter again, this time FULLY depressing the accelerator pedal to clear the engine of excess fuel. Ensure the starter motor is not operated for more than 15 seconds and release the accelerator pedal as soon as the engine has started. 3.DO NOT pump the accelerator pedal during starting. NOTE: If starting the vehicle in cold weather at high altitude (above 8,000 feet (2,400 m)), adopt the above procedure as normal practice.
