Stopping the engine in an emergency

If you want to stop the engine in an
●

press and hold the engine switch for
more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession.
(P.374)
However, do not touch the engine
switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the engine off while
driving will not cause loss of steering

stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
