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 three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine 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 to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Canadian models: Then press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without depressing the brake pedal.
Notice Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched off.
