Emergency Engine Stop
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, do either of the following operations:
- Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.
- Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine 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. Use both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place. With manual transmission models you can also downshift the transmission to utilize engine braking.
Continuously variable transmission models
The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.
To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, move the shift lever to (P) after the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

Then press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without depressing the brake pedal.
Manual transmission models
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.
