Advice
Vehicles equipped with a turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having allowed it to run for a few seconds at idle, this being the time required for the
turbocharger to return to a normal speed.
«Flicking the accelerator» at the moment of switching off the ignition could cause serious damage.
Note : If the engine fails to start at the first attempt, switch off the ignition. Wait ten seconds, then action the starter
