Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by 
delivering a large volume of compressed air  into the engine using a turbine driven by 
the engine's exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid revving the engine or sudden 
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance 
Minder. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its 
temperature reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It  is lubricated and cooled by engine 
oil. If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or 
interval, deteriorated engine oil may caus e failure such as sticking and abnormal 
noise of the turbine bearing.1 Turbo Engine Vehicle
The scheduled maintenance  intervals for replacing 
the filter is indicated on the driver information 
interface. Follow the information of when to replace 
them. 2 Maintenance Minder
TM P. 563
The temperature gauge pointer is at the   mark 
when you restart the engi ne after driving under high 
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly 
terrain. This is normal.  The gauge goes down after 
you idle or drive the vehi cle for about one minute.

Safety When Performing Maintenance
Some of the most important safety precau tions are given here. However, we cannot 
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. 
Only you can decide whether you should perform a given task.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explos ion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames 
away from the battery and all fuel related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
u Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them causing a fire.
• To clean parts, use a co mmercially available degreas er or parts cleaner, not 
gasoline.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothi ng when working with the battery or 
compressed air.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can kill you.
u Only operate the engine if th ere is sufficient ventilation.
• The vehicle must be in a stationary condition.
u Make sure your vehicle is parked on le vel ground, the parking brake is set, and 
the engine is off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
u Make sure to let the engine and exhaust system cool thoroughly before 
touching vehicle parts.
• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
u Do not start the engine unless instruct ed, and keep your hands and limbs away 
from moving parts.
u Do not open the hood while the Auto  Idle Stop function is activated.

NOTICE
Do not open the hood when the wiper arms are 
raised. The hood will strike  the wipers, resulting in 
damage to the hood and/or the wipers.
When closing the hood, check that the hood is 
securely latched.
If the hood latch lever moves  stiffly, or if you can 
open the hood without lifti ng the lever, the latch 
mechanism should be cl eaned and lubricated.
Do not open the hood while the Auto Idle Stop 
function is activated.
3WARNING
The hood support rod can become very hot 
due to heat fr om the engine.
To ensure against po ssible burns, do not
