HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Refueling from a Portable Fuel Container
If you need to refuel your vehicle from a portable fuel container, use the funnel provided
with your vehicle.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Press on the edge of the fuel fill door to open it. The
vehicle must be unlocked.
3. Take the funnel out of the tool case in
the cargo area.
4. Place the end of the funnel on the lower part of filler
opening, then insert it slowly and fully. Make sure that
the end of the funnel goes down along with the filler
pipe.
5. Fill the tank with fuel from the portable fuel container.
Pour fuel carefully so you do not spill any.
6. Remove the funnel from the filler neck. Wipe up any
fuel from the funnel before storing it.
7. Close the fuel fill door.
NOTICE
Do not insert the nozzle of a portable fuel container or any funnel other than the one
provided with your vehicle. Doing so can damage the fuel system.
Do not try to pry open or push open the sealed fuel tank with foreign objects. This can
damage the fuel system and its seal.

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, choose one of the following
operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for
two seconds, or
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button three
times.
Funnel
The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY, unless the
shift lever is in Park (P), in which case the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Because turning off the engine also 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. Downshift gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if
necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
NOTICE
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to
be switched off.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
2WD models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the
best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires
and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable
way to tow your vehicle.
AWD models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the
ONLY way to transport your vehicle.
NOTICE
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can
damage the transmission.
