HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Emergency Power System Off
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to turn off the power system due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must turn off the power system, 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.
Turning off the engine disables the power assist to the steering and braking systems. Thus, 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.
Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 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.
