Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate theengine immediately after starting
the engine.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-
cation is ensured in the turbo
charger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv- ing that requires heavy engine
load, idle the engine about 1
minute before turning the engine
off.
This idle time will allow the tur- bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off. Do not turn off the engine immedi-
ately after it has been subjected to
a heavy load. Doing so may cause
severe damage to the engine or
turbo charger unit.
To prevent damage to the vehicle:
• Do not hold the ignition key in
the START position for more
than 10 seconds. Wait 5 to 10
seconds before trying again.
• Do not turn the ignition switch to the START position with the
engine running. It may damage
the starter.
• If traffic and road conditions permit, you may put the shift
lever in the N (Neutral) position
whilst the vehicle is still moving
and turn the ignition switch to
the START position in an
attempt to restart the engine.
• Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the engine.
