WARNING
Except in cases of emergency, do not
stop the engine while the vehicle is in

wheel will lock and you will not be
able to steer the vehicle. This may
result in an accident. Avoid stopping
the engine while driving.
NOTICE
• Automatic transmission or CVT
vehicles:
If you stop the engine while the
vehicle is in motion, the automatic
transmission or CVT may be dam-
aged. Avoid stopping the engine
while driving.
• Vehicles equipped with the engine
with turbocharger:
When stopping the engine after
climbing or high speed driving, let
the engine idle for about one min-
ute or more (if it is not prohibited)
to cool down the turbocharger and
engine oil. This is to prevent the
engine oil from over-deteriorating.
Deteriorated engine oil will damage
the bearings of the turbocharger.
