.
It is essential always to keep the
engine running in order to re-
tain braking and steering power
assistance.
Never remove the ignition key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
STOPPING
Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having
allowed it to run for a few seconds
at idle, this being the time required
for the turbocharger to return to a
normal speed.
Flicking the accelerator at the mo-
ment of switching off the ignition
could cause serious damage.
A heavy object (key fob...), attached
to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.
Never turn the key to this position
when the engine is running.
