Starting the diesel engine
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be pre-heat-
ed before starting the engine and
then have to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in
P(park). Depress the brake pedal
fully.
You can also start the engine
when the shift lever is in the
N(neutral) position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position to pre-heat the engine.
Then the glow indicator light will
illuminate.
4. If the glow indicator light goes out,
turn the ignition switch to the START
position and hold it there until the
engine starts (a maximum of 10
seconds), then release the key.
✽✽
NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds after the preheating is com-
pleted, turn the ignition key once
more to the LOCK position for 10
seconds, and then to the ON posi-
tion, in order to preheat again.
Starting and stopping the engine for

1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-
cation is ensured in the tur-
bocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
run the engine on idle condition
about 1 minute before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.

Do not turn off the engine imme-
diately after it has been subject-
ed to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to
the engine or turbo charger unit.
