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, cho\
ose one of
the following operations:
•

Press and hold the ENGINE ST
ART/STOP button for
two seconds, or
•

Firmly press the ENGINE ST
ART/STOP button two
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also di\
sables 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.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge. 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 tru\
ck. 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. Available on U.S. models only.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly
low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a
message appears in the multi-information display.
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.
TPMS Calibration Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one of more of the tires, you \
need to
recalibrate the system.
Use the Info (p/q) and SEL/RESET buttons on the steering wheel to control the
multi-information display (see page 24).
1.

Scroll to CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS, and select it.
2.


Select TPMS CALIBRA
TION.
3.

Scroll to CALIBRA
TE, and select it. Calibration
begins.
The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes of cumulative driving
at speeds between 30–60 mph (48–97 km/h). The process finishes\
automatically.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
