Starting the diesel engine
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be pre-heated

starting to drive.
1. Always carry the smart key with you.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Make sure the gear is shifted to P
(Park) by pressing the P button.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop button.
6. Continue depressing the brake pedal
until the glow indicator light (
)
goes out.
7. When the glow indicator light ( )
goes out, the engine will start.
Information
If the Engine Start/Stop button is pressed
whilst the engine is pre-heating, the engine
may start.
Starting and stopping the engine
with turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the engine
immediately after starting the engine.
If the engine is cold, idle for several
seconds before sufficient lubrication
is ensured in the turbo charger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driving
that requires heavy engine load, idle
the engine about 1 minute before
turning the engine off. This idle time
will allow the turbocharger to cool
prior to shutting the engine off.
NOTICE
Do not turn off the engine immediately
after it has been subjected to a heavy
load. Doing so may cause severe
damage to the engine or turbo charger
unit.
