Emergency Engine Stop

The

ENGINE START/STOP

button may be used to stop the engine due to an

emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, do either of the
following operations:

•

Press and hold 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

after the vehicle comes to a complete

stop.

Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.

Then, press the

If the Battery Is Dead

Jump Starting Procedure

Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine,
then open the hood.

Connect the first jumper cable to your
vehicle’s battery

terminal.

Connect the other end of the first jumper
cable to the booster battery

terminal.

Use a 12-volt booster battery only.

When using an automotive battery
charger to boost your 12-volt battery,
select a lower charging voltage than 15-
volt. Check the charger manual for the
proper setting.

Connect the second jumper cable to the
booster battery

terminal.

Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the engine mounting bolt
as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable
to any other part.

If your vehicle is connected to another
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle’s engine
and increase its rpm slightly.

Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it
turns over slowly, check that the jumper
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

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.

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.

Next thing to do

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

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

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

If the coolant level in the reserve tank is
low, add coolant until it reaches the

MAX

mark.

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 pointer has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone
down, contact a dealer for repairs.

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.

WARNING

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