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. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY, unless the shift lever is in Park, in which case the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF. 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. Downshift gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Notice Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched off.
