Emergency Power System Off

The 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, do either of the following operations:

• Press and hold the POWER button for about two seconds.
• 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 power mode is in ACCESSORY when the power system is stopped.
To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, put the transmission into P after the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
