Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Moving
WARNING: Switching off the engine

a significant decrease in braking
assistance. Higher effort is required to
apply the brakes and to stop your vehicle.
A significant decrease in steering
assistance could also occur. The steering

circuits, for example airbags, also turn off.
If you unintentionally switch the ignition
off, shift into neutral (N) and restart the
engine.

switch until the engine stops, or press it
three times within two seconds.
