ADVICE
Vehicles equipped with
a Turbo
Never stop the engine without
fi rst having allowed it to idle for a
few seconds, this being the time
required for the turbochargers to
return to a normal speed.
Do not "fl ick" the accelerator at the
moment you switch off the ignition
as this could seriously damage the
turbochargers.
