CAUTION
• If you stop the engine immediately after
uphill or high-speed driving, the oil supplied
to the rotor shaft of the turbocharger will rise
to an abnormally high temperature and the
rotor shafts could seize up. To avoid this, run
the engine at idle for at least 3 minutes
instead of stopping it immediately.
• The engine should only be stopped from an
idle. Stopping it at a high RPM could result in
an engine malfunction.
1. Hold down the brake pedal and apply the park-
ing brake.
2. Manual transmission vehicles:
Place gearshift lever in the neutral position.
Automatic transmission vehicles:
Place the range selector lever in the “P” posi-
tion.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
• Never allow the vehicle to coast with the
engine stopped as braking may be danger-
ously sluggish and extremely difficult
steering may result. This may also cause
trouble in the fuel injection system.
• The engine and exhaust pipe are
extremely hot just after stopping the vehi-
cle. Avoid parking the vehicle where the
exhaust pipe could set fire to materials
such as dry grass.
• Do not stop the engine for parking with the
steering wheel fully turned to either direc-
tion. This will cause the power steering
system pressure to drop, thus causing the
steering wheel to return rapidly, possibly
injuring you.
