Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter or the starter, and to prevent premature
wearing of the battery, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing
the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not keep trying to start the engine, but contact
an approved Dealer.
WARNING

or materials such as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.
