 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.
