intercooler (if equipped)
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, allow the
engine to idle for several seconds
before it is driven to ensure suffi-
cient lubrication of the turbo
charger unit.

This idle time will allow the turbo
charger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.
