4. If the glow indicator light goes out,
turn the ignition switch to the START
position and hold it there until the
engine starts (a maximum of 10 sec-
onds), then release the key.
NOTICE
僅 If the engine does not start within 10
seconds after the preheating is com-
pleted, turn the ignition key once
more to the LOCK position for 10 sec-
onds, and then to the ON position, in

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 several
seconds before sufficient lubrication
is ensured in the turbocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driving,
requiring a heavy engine load, idle the
engine about 1 minute before turning
it off.
This idle time will allow the turbo-
charger to cool prior to shutting the
engine off.
CAUTION
Do not turn the engine off immediately
after it has been subjected to a heavy
5 8
load. Doing so may cause severe dam-
age to the engine or turbocharger unit.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls whilst you are in
motion, do not attempt to shift the gear
to the P (Park) position. If traffic and
road conditions permit, you may put the
gear in the N (Neutral) position whilst
the vehicle is still moving and turn the
ignition switch to the START position in
an attempt to restart the engine.
CAUTION
僅 Do not engage the starter for more
than 10 seconds. If the engine stalls or
fails to start, wait 5 to 10 seconds
before re-engaging the starter.
Improper use of the starter may dam-
age it.
僅 Do not turn the ignition switch to the
START position with the engine run-
ning. It may damage the starter.
