IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the Vehicle Has not Been Used for a Long Period
ADVICE
•
Before using a vehicle that has not been driven for a long period, check the
engine, transmission and transfer case for oil leakage, and make sure the oil is
at the required levels. If there is insufficient oil, it will not adequately reach and
lubricate components, and a breakdown will result.
•
Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least five minutes. Check for abnormal
noises.
•
For instructions on warming up the engine, refer to "Starting the Engine" on
page 4-4.
Recommendations for Warming Up the Engine
2008N_sec02_print2.indd 32
The engine is sufficiently warmed up
when the needle of the engine coolant
temperature gauge starts to move.
ADVICE
•
Do not rev the engine or quickly
accelerate before the engine has
sufficiently warmed up (in other
words, when the engine is cold).
Oil would not have adequately
reached and lubricated components,
so a breakdown would result.
•
The exhaust pipe becomes
LNU720SH001801
extremely hot while the engine
is idling. Before warming up the
engine, make sure there is no
flammable material (for example,
dry grass, waste paper, oil or old
tyres) near the exhaust pipe.
