Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds to ensure sufficient
lubrication in the turbocharger
unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv-
starting
the
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.

diately after it has been subject-
ed to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to
the engine or turbocharger unit.

on the instrument cluster and LCD
Display. And if all doors are closed,
the chime will sound for 5 seconds.
The indicator or warning will turn off
