2)
When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with

following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice.
The steering wheel will not lock.

physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use both feet on the brake

The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.
