following operations:
• Press and hold the  ENGINE START/STOP  button for about two seconds.
• Firmly press the  ENGINE START/STOP  button twice.

require significantly more physical effort an d time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use 
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down  the vehicle and stop immediately in a 
safe place. With manual transmission  models you can also downshift the 
transmission to utilize engine braking.

Handling the Unexpected
■Next thing to do
1.Check that the cooling fan is operating and 
stop the engine once the temperature 
gauge pointer comes down.
u If the cooling fan is not operating, 
immediately stop the engine.
2. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect 
the coolant level and check the cooling 
system components for leaks.
u If the coolant level in the reserve tank is 
low, or no coolant in the tank, check that 
the radiator is cool. Cover the reserve 
tank cap with a heavy cloth and open the 
cap. Add coolant until it reaches the 
MAX  mark, and put the cap back on.
■Last thing to do
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently,  restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge pointer has gone  down, resume driving. If it has not gone 
down, contact a dealer for repairs.
1 How to Handle Overheating
If the coolant is leaking,  contact a dealer for repairs.
Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only. 
Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze 
as soon as possible.
3WARNING
Removing the reserve tank cap while the 
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray 
out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool 
down before removing the reserve tank 
cap.

uuIndicator, Coming On/Blinking uIf the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator Comes On
Handling the Unexpected
If the Electric Power Steeri ng (EPS) System Indicator 
Comes On
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal  repeatedly to increase the engine 
speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and 
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
• Comes on when EPS steering angle cent er point memory is lost. This 
could be due to a number of problems to include: battery disconnect, 
main fuse blow, low battery causing reset of the EPS system, wire 
damage to EPS harness. Vehi cle Stability Assist (VSA®), VSA® OFF, 
Collision Mitigation Braking System
TM (CMBSTM)*, and low tire 
pressure/TPMS* indicators also come  on with EPS indicator.
The  Drive Carefully Systems Initializing...  message appears on the 
driver information interface.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle 
inspected by a dealer.
• If the EPS indicator, VSA ® indicator, VSA® OFF indicator, CMBS
TM 
indicator*, and low tire pressure/TPMS indicator* come on 
simultaneously, you need to ca librate the VSA and EPS systems.
Drive straight at speed more than  approximately 6.8 mph (11 km/h) 
for less than 10 seconds to calib rate the VSA and EPS systems.
If the indicators come on and stay on, park your vehicle in a safe 
place, turn off and restart the  engine, then repeat the above 
operation.
If the indicators still come on and stay on, immediately have your 
vehicle inspected by a dealer.
