Engine Idle Speed after Starting

The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting minimizes
vehicle emissions and maximizes cabin
comfort and fuel economy.

The idle speed varies depending on certain
factors. These include vehicle component
and ambient temperatures as well as
electrical and climate system demands.

depress the clutch pedal and turn the
ignition key to position D:

Fully depress the clutch and brake
pedals.

2. Turn the key to position D until the

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles With a Turbocharger

WARNING

Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do, the
turbocharger will continue running

after the engine oil pressure has dropped
to zero. This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and then
switch it off.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

Failure to follow engine block heater
instructions could result in property
damage or serious personal injury.

Do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk

of electrical shock.
