Starting the diesel engine
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be pre-heat-
ed before starting the engine and
then have to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Manual Transaxle - Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the
transaxle into Neutral. Keep the
clutch pedal and brake pedal
depressed whilst turning the igni-
tion switch to the start position.
Automatic Transaxle/dual clutch
transmission
- Place the
transaxle shift lever in P(park).
Depress the brake pedal fully.
You can also start the engine when
the shift lever is in the N(neutral)
position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position to pre-heat the engine.
Then the glow indicator light will
illuminate.
4. If the glow indicator light goes out,
turn the ignition switch to the START
position and hold it there until the
engine starts (a maximum of 10
seconds), then release the key.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the engine were not started within
10 seconds after the preheating is
completed, turn the ignition switch
once more to the LOCK position dur-
ing 10 seconds, and then to the ON
position, in order to preheat again.
Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-
cation is ensured in the tur-
bocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
idle the engine about 1 minute
before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to shutting
off the engine.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the engine imme-
diately after it has been subject-
ed to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to
the engine or turbocharger unit.
