Emergency
Power System OffThe
POWER button may be used to
turn the power system off
due to an emergency situation even while driving. If you must
turn the power system off, choose one of the following operations:
- Press and hold the
POWER button for two seconds,
or
- Firmly press the POWER button three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the power system disables the power assist the power system provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
The transmission automatically changes to P after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Notice Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched off.
