al seconds to ensure sufficient
lubrication in the turbocharger
unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv- ing, 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 shutting
the engine off.

“Key is not in the vehicle” will appear
on the instrument cluster and LCD
window. And if all doors are closed,
the chime will sound for 5 seconds.
The indicator or warning will turn off
while the vehicle is moving. Always
have the smart key with you.
