Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Moving
1. Press and hold the START button for
a moment, or press it three times within
two seconds.
2. Move the transmission selector lever
to position N and use the brakes to
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
3. When your vehicle has stopped, move
the transmission selector lever to
position P and switch the ignition off.
WARNING
Switching off the engine when the
vehicle is still moving will result in a
loss of brake and steering assistance.
The steering will not lock, but higher effort
will be required. When the ignition is
switched off, some electrical circuits,
warning lamps and indicators may also be
off.
Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to
restart your vehicle within 20 seconds of
switching it off, even if a valid key is not
present.
Within 20 seconds of switching your
vehicle off, press the brake pedal and press
the start button. After 20 seconds have
expired, you can no longer start your
vehicle without the key present inside the
vehicle.
Once your vehicle has started, it remains
running until you press the start button,
even if a valid key has not been detected.
If you open and close a door while your
vehicle is running, the system searches for
a valid key. You cannot start your vehicle
if a valid key is not detected within 20
seconds.
