take note of the following:

Use 91 octane or above premium
unleaded gasoline only, extra fuel

Change engine oil and filter
every 7,500 miles, or sooner if
needed, see Owner’s Manual

Use engine oil with API SL or
ILSAC GF-3 service grade or
higher, extra oil additives are
NOT recommended

After driving at freeway speeds
or up a long hill, idle engine
at least 30 seconds to cool turbo,
avoid shutting engine off abruptly
after a hard or long drive,
turbocharger damage may
result otherwise

Do NOT race or over-rev ANY
engine when starting, particularly

Do NOT add aftermarket devices
to alter the engine’s ignition, fuel
delivery, or turbo boost pressure,
this may lead to serious engine
damage and void your warranty
