NOTE:
Idling the engine for long time wastes fuel, and is
therefore detrimental to environmental protection
and resource conservation. So shut down the
engine whenever you leave the vehicle, even for a
short period.
After the engine has been idling for a relatively long
time, white smoke may be given off from the muffler
when driving off from a standstill and accelerating.
This is a normal effect of the catalytic converter that
is located in the muffler, and does not indicate any
abnormality.
If you start to drive immediately after starting the
engine (while the engine is still cold), you will
encounter the following problems:
•
In a cold region, the extreme coldness of the
engine will cause poor ignition of fuel, making
the engine prone to knocking.
•
If the idling speed is too low, the engine will be
abnormally noisy. Be sure to return the idling
speed to the appropriate value.
Warm up the engine for 1 to 2 minutes.
The idling speed will decrease to the appropriate
level when the coolant temperature has risen suffi-
ciently.
