Firmly apply the parking brake.
With the accelerator pedal released, turn
the starter switch to the "ACC" or "LOCK"

Stopping the Engine
ADVICE
Do not shut down the engine immediately after a driving the vehicle. Otherwise,
seizure or other failures may result. Before stopping the engine, run the
engine at idle for approximately 3 minutes to cool it down after applying the
parking brake and making sure of the following: The gearshift lever is in "N"
(manual transmission model); the gearshift lever is in "N" and the shift indicator
shows "N" (Smoother model); the selector lever is in "N" (a selector lever type
automatic transmission model); or the shift selector display shows "NN" (a
selector button type automatic transmission model).
To prevent the battery from going dead, turn the starter switch to the "ACC" or
"LOCK" position after stopping the engine. If you leave the vehicle for a long
time, remove the key.

NOTE
[Preheating]
Diesel engines are compression ignited, which makes them difficult to
start when they are cold because the compression alone cannot create a
temperature high enough for fuel to ignite. "Preheating" means warming the
compressed air inside the combustion chambers to facilitate engine starting. Be
sure to start the engine after the glow plug indicator light has gone out.
