1 Getting started
This is a quick driving tutorial.
1.1            Driving the Delica
(1)     Gearbox must be in park mode (P).
(2)     Turn ignition key until instrument lights are illuminated (see Figure 1).
(3)     Wait until glow plug light (see Figure 1) is extinguished. This usually happens
very fast, or even instantly if the engine is already warm.
(4a)  Turn the key further to swing the engine - release when successful.
2
(4b)    If engine struggles to start , then turn off ignition, switch on again immediately,
wait for glow plug light to go off, wait a further 5 seconds or so until a click is
heard from the engine, and then turn the engine [1].
(5)     Footbrake must be applied before 'drive' can be engaged.
(6)     Ensure drive is in appropriate range. Usually two wheel drive (2H) is fine for
town driving. Use ‘Super Select’ gear shift (on floor, see description below) to
change as necessary.
(7)     Use column mounted gear shift to select reverse (R) or drive (D) as
appropriate.
(8)     After driving, key can only be removed from ignition if automatic transmission
is in park (P).
1.2            Driving a diesel engine
Driving a diesel engine is much the same as a petrol engine. Except that the
3
acceleration is generally slower , and the torque at low engine revolutions (revs) is
lower. Therefore it is generally better to keep the revs slightly higher than in a petrol
engine vehicle, especially if climbing hills. Diesel engines have better thermodynamic
4
efficiency under part load than petrol engines .
2
For engines that are hard to start or emit copious smoke, there can be several causes and
solutions. These include replace batteries (both), clean or replace straps to glow plugs, replace glow
plugs, replace or service fuel pump. Search http://www.delicaclub.com and http://www.pocuk.com/ for
more clues.

Diesels tend not to accelerate much more when the pedal is floored. A tip that might be
useful: "A diesel however won't go much faster and any foot planting results in unburnt fuel going out
the tail pipe. When you get to that point where it won't go any faster try taking your foot off slightly and
you will find you won't go any slower and save a heap of fuel" [11].

The superior efficiency of a diesel compared to petrol engine is due to the different
thermodynamic cycle. Petrol engines throttle the air intake to reduce power, and this is inefficient
compared to the diesel method of injecting less fuel.
