If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
- Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
- Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow the vehicle.
- Shift the shift lever to N.
- If the shift lever is shifted to N
- After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
- Stop the engine.
- If the shift lever cannot be shifted to N
- Keep depressing the brake pedal with both feet to reduce vehicle speed as much as possible.
- Vehicles without a smart key system: Stop the engine by turning the engine switch to the “ACC” position.
- Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
Vehicles with a smart key system: To stop the engine, press and hold the engine switch for 2 consecutive seconds or more, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession.
WARNING
- If the engine has to be turned off while driving
- Power assist for the brakes and steering wheel will be lost, making the brake pedal harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to turn. Decelerate as much as possible before turning off the engine.
- Vehicles without a smart key system: Never attempt to remove the key, as doing so will lock the steering wheel.
If the vehicle is submerged or water on the road is rising
This vehicle is not designed to be able to drive on roads that are deeply flooded with water. Do not drive on roads where the roads may be submerged or the water may be rising. It is dangerous to remain in the vehicle if it is anticipated that the vehicle will be flooded or set adrift. Remain calm and follow the following.
- If the door can be opened, open the door and exit the vehicle.
- If the door can not be opened, open the window using the power window switch and ensure an escape route.
- If the window can be opened, exit the vehicle through the window.
- If the door and window cannot be opened due to the rising water, remain calm, wait until the water level inside the vehicle rises to the point that the water pressure inside of the vehicle equals the water pressure outside of the vehicle, and then open the door after waiting for the rising water to enter the vehicle, and exit the vehicle. When the outside water level exceeds half the height of the door, the door cannot be opened from the inside due to water pressure.
The water level exceeds the floor
When the water level exceeds the floor and time have passed, the electrical equipment will get damaged, the power windows will not operate, the engine stop and the vehicle may not be able to get moving.
