9-20 Driving and Operating
If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:
1. Brake using a firm and steady
pressure. Do not pump the
brakes repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist, requiring
increased brake pedal force.
2. Shift the vehicle to neutral.
This can be done while the
vehicle is moving. After shifting
to neutral, firmly apply the
brakes and steer the vehicle to
a safe location.
3. Come to a complete stop.
Shift to P (Park) with an
automatic transmission,
or Neutral with a manual
transmission. Turn the ignition
to LOCK/OFF.
4. Set the parking brake. See
Parking Brake (Electric) on
page 9‑37 or Parking Brake
(Manual) on page 9‑36.

WARNING
Turning off the vehicle while
moving may cause loss of power
assist in the brake and steering
systems and disable the airbags.
While driving, only shut the
vehicle off in an emergency.
If the vehicle cannot be pulled
over, and must be shut off while
driving, switch the ignition to
ACC/ACCESSORY.
B (ACC/ACCESSORY): This
position allows you to use things
like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is off.
This position will allow you to turn
off the engine.
C (ON/RUN): This position is for
driving. It is the position the ignition
switch returns to after the engine
starts, and the control knob is
released. This position can also be
used for service and diagnostics,
and to verify the proper operation of
the malfunction indicator lamp as
may be required for emission
inspection purposes.
If you need to shift the transmission
out of P (Park), the ignition
control knob has to be in
ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN.
The battery could be drained if
you leave the ignition in the
ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN
position with the engine off.
You may not be able to start the
vehicle if the battery is allowed to
drain for an extended period of time.
D (START): This position starts the
engine.
