If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency
CAUTION
■If the engine has to be turned off while driving
Power assist for the brakes and steering wheel will be lost, making the brake pedal
harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to turn. Decelerate as much as
possible before turning off the engine.
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle
in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly
depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the
effort required to slow the vehicle.
Shift the shift lever to “N”.
If the shift lever is shifted to “N” After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
Stop the engine.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted to “N” Keep depressing the brake pedal with both feet to reduce vehi-
cle speed as much as possible.
Stop the engine by pressing and
holding the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch for 3 consecutive
seconds or more.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.

Avec un tissu ou une éponge, nettoyez à l’aide d’un savon doux et de l’eau tiède.
Vérifiez aussi les ceintures régulièrement pour vous assurer qu’elles ne présentent
pas d’usure excessive, d’effilochage ou de coupures.
ATTENTION
Dommages et usure de la ceinture de sécuritéVérifiez périodiquement le système de ceintures de sécurité. Assurez-vous qu’il
n’y a pas de coupures, d’effilochures ni de pièces desserrées. N’utilisez pas une
