CAUTION
•
If you stop the engine immediately after
uphill or high-speed driving, the oil supplied
to the rotor shaft of the turbocharger will rise
to an abnormally high temperature and the
rotor shafts could seize up. To avoid this, run
the engine at idle for at least 3 minutes
instead of stopping it immediately.
•
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.
Vehicles with a DUONIC system:
Place the gearshift lever in the “P” position. Con-
firm that “P” is shown on the gear position indi-
cator.
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.
4. Turn the starter switch to the “ACC” position to
stop the engine.
