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.

hold the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch for 2 consecutive
seconds or more, or press it
