Emergency Procedures
BEST METHOD for HV Shutdown
Push and hold the Start/Stop button for 3
seconds.
This simple action turns off the gasoline engine and
immediately shuts down the high-voltage system
controllers, thereby preventing current flow into the
cables. It also cuts power to the airbags and the seat
belt tensioners, though these pyrotechnic devices have
up to a three minute deactivation time.
To prevent accidental restarting, you must remove the
keyless remote from the vehicle and move it at least 20
feet away.
If you cannot locate the keyless remote, you should
also perform the
SECOND-BEST METHOD
(for
preventing high-voltage current flow) on the following
page.
Push and hold the start/stop
button for 3 seconds
