WARNING- Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving is dangerous.
Drink driving is the number one
contributor to the road death toll
each year. Even a small amount of
alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Driving
whilst under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking drugs,
don’t drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a taxi cab.
WARNING
• When you intend to park or stop
the vehicle with the engine on,
take care not to hold the engine
at high rpm for an extended
amount of time. It may overheat
the engine or exhaust system
and cause fire.
• When you make a sudden stop or
turn the steering wheel rapidly,
loose objects may drop on the
floor and it could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Keep all things in the vehicle
safely stored.
• Becoming distracted whilst driv-
ing may cause an accident. It is
the responsibility of the driver to
always drive safely.

Precautions for starting and stopping tur-
bocharged engines
1. Do not race or accelerate the engine
immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for several
seconds before sufficient lubrication is
ensured in the turbo charger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driving,
requiring a heavy engine load, idle the
engine about 1 minute before turning it
off.
This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to turn off the
engine.
CAUTION
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.
