HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
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. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY, unless 
the shift lever is in Park (P), in which case 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.
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
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. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the 
driver’s doorjamb.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
2WD models
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.
AWD models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the ONLY way to transport your vehicle.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated 
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICE
TPMS Calibration
Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one of more of the tires, you \
need to
recalibrate the system.
On vehicles with information display
Press and hold the TPMS button on the dashboard. 
The TPMS indicator blinks, and calibration begins.
On vehicles with multi-information display (MID)
Use the buttons on the steering wheel to enter and operate the Vehicle Settings 
menu (see page 30).
1. Scroll to the Vehicle Settings screen and enter the menu.
2. Select TPMS Calibration.
3. Select Calibrate. Calibration begins.
4. Exit the menu.
