Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by
delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven by
the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid revving the engine or sudden
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Oil Monitor
system schedule. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and
its temperature reaches over 700°C. It is lubricated and cooled by engine oil. If
you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or interval,
deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal noise of
the turbine bearing.
