HAZARDOUS DRIVING
When hazardous driving is encountered
because of water, snow, ice, mud, sand or

• Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
• When braking depress the brake pedal
with a light up-and-down motion until the
vehicle is stopped.
• If stalled in snow, mud or sand, use 2
(second) gear (for manual transmission)
or “WINTER” mode (for automatic trans-
mission) and accelerate slowly. Accel-
erate slowly to avoid spinning.
• Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or
other nonslip material under the rear
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice snow or mud.

INTRODUCTION
What is the Turbocharger?
Turbochargers are based on gas turbine
engine technology, but operate under con-
siderably greater pressure.
The turbocharger consists of two turbo el-
ements, a turbine and a compressor, both
of which are driven from the main center
shaft. The turbine rotates between
50,000~160,000 spins per minute and uses
the energy of the exhaust gas to drive the
compressor. The compressor, in turn, draws
in fresh air which it supplies to the cylinders
in compressed from.
As more fuel is drawn into the engine, out-
