3. Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 sec-onds after starting. Do not race the engine
while warming it up. Drive at moderate
speed for a short distance first, especially in
cold weather.
In cold weather, keep the engine running for
a minimum of 2–3 minutes before shutting it
off. Starting and stopping the engine over a
short period of time may make the vehicle
more difficult to start.
SWITCHING ENGINE OFF
Push the ignition to the off position.
To prolong the engine life (especially after ex-
tended high speed, high ambient temperature, or
during heavy load operation, such as trailering) , it
is recommended that a hot engine be idled for
3–5 minutes before shutting down. This allows
the turbocharged engine to cool down.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
● Warm up the engine before operating it un-
der load.
● Do not operate the engine at idle for ex-
tended periods. ●
Prevent engine lugging by selecting the ap-
propriate transmission gear.
● Monitor the vehicle oil pressure and tem-
perature gauges.
● Check fluid levels frequently (oil and cool-
ant) .
● Vary the throttle position at highway speeds
when carrying weight or towing.
NOTE:
Extended light or no load operation will
extend the time before the engine reaches
its full efficiency. If the engine is operated
in this manner reduced fuel economy and
power may be observed.
The aforementioned procedure should be ob-
served for the first 6,000 miles. The engine run-in
is improved by operating the vehicle under load.
