Turbo Engine Vehicle

Handling Precautions

The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by
delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven by
the engine's exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid revving the engine or sudden
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Oil Monitor
system. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its
temperature reaches over 700°C. It is lubricated and cooled by engine oil. If you
fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or interval,
deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal noise of
the turbine bearing.

The temperature gauge pointer is at the
upper level *2 when you restart the engine after
driving under high load conditions such as at high
speed or in hilly terrain. This is normal. The gauge
goes down after you idle or drive the vehicle for
about one minute.
