11.2.1 Engine Idling - In Cold Weather
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.
11.3 Stopping the Engine
Your vehicle is powered by a turbo diesel 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 an incline)
• Slowly release the service brake pedal
• Lock your vehicle when leaving
11.4 Exhaust Gases
Protection against exhaust gas entry into the vehicles interior is
considered in the design of the exhaust system.
• Vehicle exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide,
Nitrogen Oxides, Hydrocarbons and Particulate Matter. These
are potential environmental and health hazards.
• Avoid inhaling the exhaust gases. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless
and odorless gas and can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
