Operation

C3M2-OM-EN-02
Note
Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before stopping it after a full load
operation. Failure to do so may lead to turbocharger trouble.
After turning the ignition key switch to the off ‘0’ position to stop the engine,
the engine control unit (ECU) remains active to save system data before it
switches off. For this reason, the power supply to the engine must not be
interrupted at the battery isolator switch or by removing the battery leads
until the ECU has switched off.
