Advice
Diesel vehicles equipped
with a Turbo
Never stop the engine without hav-
ing fi rst allowed it to run at idle for
a few seconds, thus allowing the
turbo to return to normal speed.
Do not press the accelerator pedal
as the ignition is being switched
off. This could severely damage
the turbo unit.
