WARNINGIf you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press andhold the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession.
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving, except in an emergency. Turning
the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, however
the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and
brake. Pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
1 Stop the vehicle completely.
2 Press the P position switch.
Check that the shift position indicator shows P and the parking brake indicator is
illuminated.
3 Press the engine switch.
The engine will stop, and the meter display will be extinguished (the shift positionindicator will be extinguished a few seconds after the meter display).
4 Release the brake pedal and check that the display on the instrument cluster is
off.
INFORMATION

Situationswhereidlingisnecessarybeforestoppingtheengine(NX350)
To prevent damage to the turbocharger, immediately after high-load driving, such
as continuous driving up steep mountain roads, driving on a race track, or when
towing a trailer or another vehicle (vehicles with a towing package), allow the
engine to idle for approximately 1 minute before stopping the engine.
Idling is not necessary after normal city driving or high-speed driving (at the legal
or recommended highway speed limit).

or shift lever operation when the vehicle is stopped, such as at a stoplight, intersec-
tion, etc., in order to improve fuel economy and reduce noise pollution caused by
the engine idling.
