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.
