engaged, for the engine to be started,
you must depress the clutch pedal or
put the gear lever in neutral. The mes-
sage “Neutral + START” appears on the
trip computer to notify you.

Diesel version
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
É
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-
sition B and hold this position until the
preheating warning light goes out.
Depending on the vehicle, under cer-
tain conditions of use (e.g. strong ac-
celeration, particle filter regeneration
etc.), the system may opt to temporarily
switch back to petrol mode. If the en-
vironmental conditions are once again
suitable, the system may once again
permit LPG mode.
Turn the key to the “Start” position C
without depressing the accelerator
pedal.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG.➥ 2.27
