WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de-
pressed when starting a manual
transaxle vehicle. Otherwise there
is the potential to cause damage to
the vehicle or injury to someone
inside or outside the vehicle as a
result of the forward or backward
movement of the vehicle that will
occur if the clutch is not depressed
when the vehicle is started.
NOTE:
If the engine were not started within
10 seconds after the preheating is
completed, turn the ignition key
once more to the "LOCK" position,
and then to the "ON" position, in
order to preheat again.
NOTE - For Europe
For improved full efficiency, your
vehicle is equipped with a kick down
mechanism in the accelerator pedal.
It prevents you from driving at full
throttle unintentionally by making
the driver require increased effort to
depress the accelerator pedal.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGER
INTERCOOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden
accelerate the engine immediately
after start it. If the engine is cold,
allow the engine to idle for several
seconds before it is driven to en-
sure sufficient lubrication of the
turbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
the engine should be allowed to idle
about 1 minute before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the turbo
charger to cool prior to shutting the
engine off.
WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi-
ately after it has been subjected to
a heavy load. Doing so may cause
severe damage to the engine or
turbo charger unit.
However, if you depress the pedal
more than approximately 80%, the
vehicle can be at full throttle and the
accelerator pedal will be easier to
depress. This is not a malfunction
but a normal condition.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START"
position and release it when the
engine starts.
