ing will be lost. This will make it  more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the  
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do  so.
●If the power switch is operated while the vehicle is running, a warn-ing message will be shown on the  
multi-information display and a  buzzer sounds.
