6.6.2 Shut down diesel engine
Let the engine run for a short time idling before shutting it down. If the engine is shut
down at high speed, then the turbo charger runs on after the oil pressure has already
fallen.
This leads to lack of lubricant and therefore to unnecessary wear on bearings of the
turbo charger running at high speed.
– Put ignition lock in the position 0
or
– press STOP key
