Turning the Engine Off

WARNING

Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving:

Stopping the engine while the vehicle is
moving for any reason other than in an
emergency is dangerous. Stopping the
engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to the
loss of power braking, which could cause
an accident and serious injury.

1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. Shift the selector lever to the P

position and set the parking brake.

3. Press the push button start to turn off

the engine. The ignition position is off.

CAUTION



When leaving the vehicle, make sure the
push button start is off.

NOTE



The cooling fan in the engine
compartment could turn on for a few
minutes after the ignition is switched
from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C
is on or off, to cool the engine
compartment quickly.



If the system detects that the remaining
battery power of the key is low when the
ignition is switched from ON to ACC or
OFF, the following is indicated.
Replace with a new battery before the
key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on
page 6-32.
