    Red face Should I wait for "systemcheck ok" message to start the car?

    I have a VY sII wagon and I've never had a car with a "computer system" in it. And I was wondering if it is ok to just start the car straight away or should I turn it to accessories and wait for the computer to display the "system check ok" message and then start it.

    The computer's "system check" will still cycle through, whether you start the car immediately or wait until it displays "system check ok"

    It's up to you which starting prodcedure you choose.

    its not so critical on VY, its just the instrument cluster booting up & starting up comms with all the other modules.
    Some VZ have immobiliser issues if started too quickly.

    I have never worried about the system check although I have always given it between 0.5 to 1 second to ensure the fuel line is pressurised. I am not sure if the fuel pressure leaks down without use although a friend's VY was developing a small problem (taking 2 attempts/cranks) until he did what I do.

    dont think there is a big issue with starting the car before the sys check is done, i start it and leave it running for about 6 mins before i drive (an old habbit i used to use on my old car after i put something through the rocker cover...... long story)
