Emergency Engine Stop - Honda Civic Owner's Manual

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, do either of the
following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for two seconds.
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice.
• The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF with
the shift lever in P , and to ACCESSORY with the shift lever in any position other
(
than P . (
• 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.
