Precautions For Turning Off An Engine With Turbocharger; Pre−Trip Safety Check - Toyota Coaster 2015 Owner's Manual

Precautions for turning off
an engine with turbocharger
How to stop the engine
1. Apply the parking brake firmly and
place the selector lever in "P" position.
2. Idle the engine for 5 minutes before
stopping the engine. Then turn the key
to the "ACC" position to shut off the
engine.
3. Turn the key while pushing to set it at
the "LOCK" position. Then pull out the
key.
NOTICE
Before stopping the engine, idle the
engine approximately for 5 minutes. If
the engine is stopped suddenly with-
out idling, the turbocharger is forced
to rotate without oil pressure. This
may eliminate the necessary oil film
and cause the bearing wear.
Pre−trip safety check
It is a good idea to do a safety check
before starting out on a trip. A few min-
utes of checking can help ensure safe and
pleasant driving. Just a basic familiarity
with your vehicle is required and a careful
eye! Or, if you would like, your Toyota
dealer will be pleased to make this check
for you at a nominal cost.
CAUTION
If you make this check in an enclosed
garage, make sure there is adequate
ventilation. Engine exhaust is poison-
ous.
