CAUTION
!
Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example,
by revving it or by accelerating rapidly) immedi-
ately after starting it.
Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed
or uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to
give the turbocharger a chance to cool down.
Engine oil must be properly maintained to avoid
engine and/or turbocharger damage. To better pro-

thetic engine oil.

Turbocharger
(if so equipped)
The turbocharger increases engine power by pushing large
N00537300051
amounts of air into the engine's cylinders. The finned parts
inside the turbocharger turn at extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated
by engine oil and cooled by engine oil and coolant. If the
engine oil is not replaced at the specified intervals, the bearings
may seize or emit abnormal noise.
