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 has to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Manual Transaxle - Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the
Transaxle into the Neutral. Keep
the clutch pedal depressed whilst
cranking the engine.
Automatic Transaxle - 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 ON posi-
tion to pre-heat the engine. Then
the glow indicator light will illumi-
nate.
4. If the glow indicator light goes out,
turn the ignition switch to START
and hold it there until the engine
starts (a maximum of 10 sec-
onds), then release the key.
✽✽
NOTICE
If the engine were not started within
2 seconds after the preheating is com-
pleted, turn the ignition key once
more to the LOCK position during
10 seconds, and then to the ON posi-
tion, in order to preheat again.
Starting and stopping the
engine for turbocharger
intercooler
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,
idle the engine 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 the engine off imme-

ed to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to
the engine or turbocharger unit.
