Switching off the engine
Wait until the engine has reached
idle speed, then switch off.
Never depress the accelerator
pedal.
If the engine is switched off at high
speed, the turbocharger will
continue running after the engine
oil pressure has dropped to zero.
This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear.
