Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine 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 p r e v e n t d a m a g e t o t h e v e h i c l e :
•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.
