Starting the diesel engine
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be preheated
before starting the engine and
then have to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. M anual Transmission - Depress
the clutch pedal fully and shift the
transmission into Neutral. Keep
the clutch pedal and brake pedal
depressed while pressing the
ENGINE START/STOP button to
the START position.
Automatic Transmission / Dual
clutch transmission - Place the
transmission shift lever in P
(Park). Depress the brake pedal
fully.
You can also start the engine

NOTICE
If the engine does not start within
10 seconds after the preheating
is completed, turn the ignition key
once more to the LOCK position
for 10 seconds, and then to the ON
position, in order to preheat again.
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
turbocharger to cool prior to
shutting the engine off.
CAUTION
Do not turn the engine off
immediately after it has been
subjected to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to the
engine or turbocharger unit.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls while you are in
motion, do not attempt to move the
