HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, turn the power system on and check
the high temperature indicator. If the high temperature indicator is off, resume
driving. If it stays on, contact a dealer for repairs.
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator
cap.
Continuing to drive with the high temperature indicator on may damage the
engine.

Emergency Power System Off
The POWER button may be used to turn the power system off due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must turn the power system off,
choose one of the following operations:
• Press and hold the POWER button for
two seconds, or
• Firmly press the POWER button three
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However,
because turning off the power system
disables the power assist the power
system provides to the steering and
braking systems, it will require significantly
more physical effort and time to steer and
slow the vehicle. Use both feet on the
brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and
stop immediately in a safe place.
The gear position automatically changes to Park (P) after the vehicle comes to
a complete stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the
power system 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 only way to transport your vehicle. Any other towing method will
damage the vehicle's drive system.
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.
