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 tu rn the power system off, do either of the
following operations:
• Press and hold the POWER button about for 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 syst em 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 pe dal to slow down the vehicle and stop
immediately in a safe place.
The transmission automa tically changes to
(P after the vehicle comes to a complete
stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
1 Emergency Power System Off
Do not press the POWER button while driving unless
it is absolutely necessary for the power system to be
turned off.
