Operation Manual

IN AN EMERGENCY

BUMP STARTING
13)
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake servo and electrical power
steering system (where provided) are
not operational until the engine is
started, a greater effort will therefore
be required to press the brake pedal
or turn the steering wheel.
