Stopping the engine in an emergency

If you want to stop the engine in an emer-

gency while driving the vehicle, press 

and hold the engine switch for more than 

2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or 

more in succession. (

P.320)

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 con-

trol, but the power assist to these systems 

will be lost. This will make it more difficult 

to steer and brake, so you should pull 

over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is 

safe to do so.

■

When parking

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon 

monoxide (CO), which is colorless and 

odorless. Observe the following precau-

tions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases 

to enter the vehicle and may lead to an 

accident caused by light-headedness, or 

may lead to death or a serious health 

hazard.

●

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated 

area or a closed area, such as a 

garage, stop the engine.

●

Do not leave the vehicle with the 

engine running for a long time. If such 

a situation cannot be avoided, park the 

vehicle in an open space and ensure 

that exhaust fumes do not enter the 

vehicle interior.

●

Do not leave the engine running in an 

area with snow build-up, or where it is 

snowing. If snowbanks build up around 

the vehicle while the engine is running, 

exhaust gases may collect and enter 

the vehicle.
