IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING

In an emergency situation while the
vehicle is in motion, you are able to
turn the engine off and to the ACC
position by pressing the ENGINE
START/STOP button for more than 2
seconds or 3 times successively
within 3 seconds. If the vehicle is still
moving, you can restart the engine
without depressing the brake pedal
by pressing the
START/STOP button with the shift
lever in the N (Neutral) position
(if smart key equipped).
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
If you have a flat tire while
ENGINE
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
1.Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of control.
When the vehicle has slowed down
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on a firm level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
What to do in an emergency

on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put

vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.

the instruction provided later in this
section.

keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
