HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
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 two
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. 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.
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.
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.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes significantly
low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a
message appears on the multi-information display*.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
level on the label on the driver's doorjamb.
TPMS Calibration
Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you need to
recalibrate the system. The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes
of cumulative driving at speeds between 30–60 mph (48–97 km/h). The vehicle
must be steopped to begin calibration, and the process finishes automatically.
Using the TPMS button*
Press and hold the TPMS button near the steering
wheel. The TPMS indicator blinks twice, and
calibration begins.
Using the Settings menu*
Use the selector knob or the touchscreen to make and enter selections.
1. Models with one display: Press the SETTINGS
button. Select Vehicle Settings.
Models with touchscreen: From the HOME
screen, select Settings. Select Vehicle.
2. Select TPMS Calibration.
3. Select Calibrate, and calibration begins.
Using the multi-information display*

enter selections.
