Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of 
the following operations:
• 
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 
two seconds, or
• 
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two 
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. 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 vehi\
cle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and 
stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine 
to be switched off.
*if equipped
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The 
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can 
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front 
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly 
low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a
message appears on the multi-information display*.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
level on the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
*if equipped
TPMS CalibrationAny time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you \
need to
recalibrate the system. The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes 
of cumulative driving at speeds between 30–60 mph (48–97 km/h). The vehicle 
must be steopped to begin calibration, and the process finishes automatically.
Using the TPMS button*
Press and hold the TPMS button near the steering 
wheel. The TPMS indicator blinks twice, and 
calibration begins.
