Avoid full throttle operation when the engine is cold and prolonged
idling at low ambient temperatures. Long periods of idling may be
harmful to your engine. Combustion chamber temperatures can
drop so low that the fuel may not burn completely. Incomplete
combustion allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings and
injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter the crankcase,
diluting the oil and causing rapid wear to the engine.

Your vehicle is powered by a turbo diesel/petrol engine. Before
turning the engine OFF, always allow the engine to return to normal
idle speed and run for few seconds. This assures proper cooling
and lubrication of the turbocharger. This is particularly necessary
after any hard driving.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, before turning OFF the
engine and leaving the vehicle, always,
• Keep your right foot on the service brake pedal
• Turn front wheels towards the road curb
• Switch OFF the ignition, turn the key to the steering lock position
and remove the key
• Firmly engage the parking brake
• Move the gear shift lever to 1st gear position (reverse gear if
parking on a decline)
• Slowly release the service brake pedal
• Lock your vehicle when leaving

With the gear shift lever in neutral and brakes released, the vehicle
can move freely by pushing or towing. The engine can be started in
this mode. It is always recommended to keep the brake pedal
depressed in this position. It is advisable to shift into neutral when
