Emergency Engine Stop
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an

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

safe place.
The gear position automatically changes to

stop.
Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Then, press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without depressing the brake
pedal to change the mode to VEHICLE OFF.

Do not press the ENGINE START/STOP button while
driving unless it is absolute ly necessary for the engine
to be turned off.
