Only in an emergency, for example if it is impossible to stop the vehicle normally, proceed as described below:

  1. Press the brake pedal firmly with both feet and keep it depressed.
  2. 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 in N

  1. After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place off the road.
  2. Switch off the engine.

If the shift lever cannot be moved to N

3. Continue to hold the brake pedal down with both feet so as to reduce the vehicle speed as much as possible.

4. Vehicles without smart entry and start system: Stop the engine by turning the key in the ignition switch to the "ACC" position.

WARNING

■ If the engine must be stopped while driving

  • Brake and steering power assist will not be available, making the brake pedal harder to press and the steering wheel heavier to turn.

Decelerate as much as possible before stopping the engine.

  • Vehicles without smart entry and start system: Never try to remove the key, as this will activate the steering lock.
  • Test yourself
