this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
Stopping the engine in an emergency

If you want to stop the engine in an emergency 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. 789)
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, however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This will make it more difficult
to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
