CAUTION
• Allow the engine to idle for at least 3 minutes
before stopping it. Not doing so could result
in an engine malfunction.
• 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.
3. Allow the engine to idle for more than 3 minutes
before stopping it.
When the vehicle is in motion, engine parts
become extremely hot. This is particularly true
during uphill or high-speed driving. Therefore,
let the engine cool down sufficiently by allowing
it to idle for a time before stopping it.
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.
