■ Stopping the EV system in an emergency
●If you want to stop the EV system in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press and hold the power switch for more than
2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession.( �P. 602)
However, do not touch the power switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turning the EV system off while driving will not cause a loss of
steering or braking control. However, power assist for the steering wheel may be lost making it difficult to steer smoothly before stopping the vehicle depending on the remaining charge in the 12-volt battery or usage conditions. In this situation, you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
●If the power switch is operated while the vehicle is running, a
warning message will be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer sounds.
