Starting and stopping the engine for turbocharger intercooler

  1. Do not race or accelerate the vehicle immediately after you start the engine.

    If the engine is cold, idle it for several seconds to ensure that sufficient lubrication is applied within the turbocharger unit.

  2. After high speed or extended driving, which puts strain on the engine load, idle the engine for about 1 minute before turning it OFF.

    This idle time allows the turbocharger to cool before you turn OFF the engine.

NOTE

Do not turn OFF the engine immediately after you have subjected it to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbocharger unit.
