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, 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
.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the
engine to be switched off.
