Warnings and Cautions for Using the Turbocharger

 


  • After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, trailer towing for a long time, idle the engine at least 30 seconds before stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be damaged. However, when i-stop operates, idling is unnecessary.

  • Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage the turbocharger.

  • To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced just after starting it in extremely cold weather.
