Emergency Engine
Stop
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of the following operations:
- Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for two seconds, or
- Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine 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, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place. Once stopped, the gear position automatically changes to P and the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched off.
