Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Moving
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.
1. If your vehicle has an ignition key, move the transmission
selector lever to position N and use the brakes to bring your vehicle
to a safe stop. When your vehicle has stopped, move the transmission
selector lever to position P and turn the key to position 0.
2. If your vehicle has a keyless start system, move the transmission
selector lever to position N and use the brakes to bring your vehicle
to a safe stop. When your vehicle has stopped, move the transmission
selector lever to position P and switch the ignition off by pressing
and holding the button for one second, or pressing it three times
within two seconds.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
WARNING: If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
this checked immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust fumes. Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take
precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.

If you stop your vehicle and leave the engine idling for long periods of
time, we recommend that you do one of the following:
