Handling the Unexpected
Emergency Engine StopThe ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you mus t stop the engine, do either of the
following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for two seconds.
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice.
• The steering wheel will not lock.
The power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF with the shift lever in
(P
, and to
ACCESSORY with the shift lever in any position other than
(P
.
The power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
• Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine provides
to the steering and braking systems, it will require significantly more physical
effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift gears and use both feet
on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a
safe place.

Information
Emissions TestingTesting of Readiness CodesYour vehicle has “Readiness Codes,” as part of the onboard self diagnostic system.
Some States use these codes as a test to see if your vehicle's emissions components
are working properly.
The codes may not be read properly if testing is performed just after the battery has
gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the ignition switch to ON
(w
*1, without starting the
engine. The malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it then
goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are
not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are ready,
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for six hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in
(P
(CVT) or
(N
(manual transmission). Increase the engine
speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about three minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an
ignition switch.
1 Testing of Readiness Codes
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is
disconnected, and set again only after several days of
driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness
codes are not set, you may be requested to return at
a later date to complete the test.
If the testing faci lity determines the readiness codes
are still not set, see a dealer.
