Emergency Engine Stop

The

ENGINE START/STOP

 button for about two seconds.

•

Firmly press the 

ENGINE START/STOP

 button three times.

The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables 
the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will 
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use 
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a 
safe place.

The gear position automatically changes to

Jump Starting Procedure

1

If the Battery Is Dead

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Be careful 
not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the cable 
ends to touch each other while attaching or 
detaching the jumper cables.

Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and 
may prevent the engine from starting.

3

WARNING

A battery can explode if you do not follow 
the correct procedure, seriously injuring 
anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking 
materials away from the battery.

 message appears on 

the driver information interface.

•

Steam or spray comes out of the engine compartment.

■

First thing to do

1.

Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place.

2.

Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.

u

No steam or spray present:

Next thing to do

1.

Check that the cooling fan is operating and 
stop the engine once the temperature 
gauge needle goes down.

u

If the cooling fan is not operating, 
immediately stop the engine.

2.

Once the engine has cooled down, inspect 
the coolant level and check the cooling 
system components for leaks.

u

If the coolant level in the reserve tank is 
low, remove the engine compartment 
cover then add coolant until it reaches 
the 

MAX

 mark.

Engine Compartment Cover

 P. 569

u

If there is no coolant in the reserve tank, 
check that the radiator is cool. Cover the 
radiator cap with a heavy cloth and open 
the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to 
the base of the filler neck, and put the 
cap back on.

■

Last thing to do

Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge. 
If the temperature gauge needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone 
down, contact a dealer for repairs.

1

How to Handle Overheating

If the coolant is leaking, contact a dealer for repairs.

Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only. 
Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze 
as soon as possible.

3

WARNING

Removing the radiator cap while the 
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray 
out, seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine and radiator cool 
down before removing the radiator cap.

The brake fluid is low.

•

There is a malfunction in the brake system.

■

What to do when the indicator comes on while driving

Depress the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure.

•

If normal, check the brake fluid level the next time you stop.

•

If abnormal, take immediate action. If necessary, downshift the 
transmission to slow the vehicle using engine braking.

If the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator 
Comes On

■

Reasons for the indicator to come on

If the Low Tire Pressure/Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
Indicator Comes On or Blinks

NOTICE

Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause 
it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always 
inflate your tires to the prescribed level.

TPMS with Tire Fill Assist provides visual and audible 
assistance during tire pressure adjustment. With the 
power mode in ON, while you adjust tire pressure up 
or down, the system alerts you as follows:

Below recommended pressure: 

The beeper 

sounds and exterior lights flash once every five 
seconds.

At recommended pressure: 

The beeper sounds 

and exterior lights flash rapidly for ~ five seconds.

Above recommended pressure: 

The beeper 

sounds and lights flash twice every three seconds.
