4-2. Driving procedures
after approximately 1 hour if it has been
left running while the shift position is in P.
●
The timer for the automatic engine shut
off feature will reset if the brake pedal is
depressed or if the shift position is in a
position other than P.
After the vehicle is parked, if the door is
●
locked with the door lock switch
(P.107) from the inside or the mechani-
cal key (P.510) from the outside, the
automatic engine shut off feature will be
disabled. The timer for the automatic
engine shut off feature will be re-enabled
if the driver's door is opened.
■
When the engine is stopped
Even if the engine switch is turned off, the
cooling fan may continue to operate for a
short time.
WARNING
■
Stopping the engine in an emergency
●
If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for
more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession.
(P.470)
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
or braking control, but the power assist
to these systems will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer and
brake, so you should pull over and stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
If the engine switch is operated while
●
the vehicle is running, a warning mes-
sage will be shown on the multi-infor-
mation display and a buzzer sounds.
To restart the engine after performing
●
an emergency shutdown, shift the shift
position to N and then press the
engine switch.
■
When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases
to enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated
●
area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the engine.
●
Do not leave the vehicle with the
engine running for a long time. If such
a situation cannot be avoided, park the
vehicle in an open space and ensure
that exhaust fumes do not enter the
vehicle interior.
●
Do not leave the engine running in an
area with snow build-up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the engine is running,
exhaust gases may collect and enter
the vehicle.
Changing engine switch modes
Modes can be changed by pressing
the engine switch with brake pedal
released. (The mode changes each
time the switch is pressed.)
