Self-adapting function
of the engine’s control
system
If the battery cable has been ever
removed, some abnormal phenomena
may occur in the initial running stage
of the car after reconnection. This is
because the engine’s control system is
re-studying to adapt the engine, which
are normal phenomena.
Revolution limitation to
the engine
To protect the engine, engine
revolution is limited by an electronic
unit-ECU.
Shut down the engine
Release the accelerator pedal, wait until
the engine revolution falls to idle speed,
and then turn off the ignition switch.
Do not shut down the engine
immediately when parking after a long
time high speed running; leave the
engine continue to run for 2 minutes at
a revolution higher than the idle speed,
so that the engine temperature can fall
gradually.
Note:
Brake
The engine temperature will remain
high after the ignition switch is turned
off and the engine stops, so, leave the
electronic cooling fan of the radiator
continue to run for about 10 minutes.
Even if the cooling fan stops running, it
may run again suddenly because of
high temperature. Therefore, take
special care when working by the
engine.
