CAUTION
Caution while driving
If the vehicle is coasting without engine power, for example if the engine
stalls, do not open a door or operate the locks until the vehicle is completely
stopped in a safe condition. Driving with the steering locked may cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

except in an emergency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause
loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
