NOTE:

Letting the engine idle after severe operation

allows the turbine housing to cool to normal operating
temperature.

The following chart should be used as a guide in deter-
minning the amount of engine idle time required to
sufficiently cool down the turbocharger before shut
down, depending upon the type of driving and the
amount of cargo.
