The car is S80, 2011, D5, 205 hp. I`ve never driven a car with start button before so I`m not very familiar how to proceed with the glowplugs preheating before starting the engine. Should I actually do anything specific before starting the engine.. should I activate the glowplugs in some way, or the whole process is automated and I should just start the engine the normal way - foor on the brake and pressing the start button... I thought of pressing the start button without foot on the brake, is it necessary ?
Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation!

They tend to glow rapidly anyway unless they're dying, if it makes you feel better about it and if you are in a very cold area then the foot off ign position one is the way to go, you'll know if they're really needed as the car will crank longer if the cylinders aren't warmed enough to start up.
