Driving your vehicle
4. Do not wait for the engine to
warm up whilst the vehicle
remains stationary. Start driving
at moderate engine speeds.
(Steep accelerating and deceler-
ating should be avoided.)
Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after start-
ing.
If the engine is cold, idle for sev-
eral seconds before sufficient
lubrication is ensured in the tur-
bocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended
driving, requiring a heavy engine
load, idle the engine about 1 min-
ute 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 immedi-
ately after it has been subjected to
a heavy load. Doing so may cause
severe damage to the engine or tur-
bocharger unit.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls whilst you are in
motion, do not attempt to shift the
gear to the P (Park) position. If traf-
fic 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
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-engag-
ing the starter. Improper use of
the starter may damage it.
Do not turn the ignition switch to
the START position with the
engine running. It may damage
the starter.
