Driving
Before setting off allow the engine to run for a while so that the car can
assume its running position.
STARTING THE DS FB (fig. 14)
Ensure that the gear lever 7 is in neutral (PM).
Switch on (diagram B, fig. 1 2): the warning light K in the dial 3 (fig. 20) lights up,
also the warning lights C for the oil pressure and H for battery charging.
When the engine is cold
Operate the starter motor, using key 25 (fig. 21)-diagram C-without touching the
accelerator pedal. The lights K, C and H go out as soon as the engine starts (fig.
20).
• If the engine fails to start at the first attempt wait 3 to 4 seconds before trying
again.
• Never race a cold engine.
Note: Cars equipped with the optional "FR-15" heating system have a radiator
blind: instructions for its use are contained in a complementary pamphlet supplied
with this manual.
When the engine is warm
Depress the accelerator pedal, then operate the starter control.
