situation even while driving. If you must turn the power system off, do either of the  
following operations:  
Press and hold the POWER button for about two seconds.

disables the power assist the power system provides to the steering and braking  
systems, it will require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow  
the vehicle. Use both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop  
immediately in a safe place.  
The transmission automatically changes to (P after the vehicle comes to a complete  
stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
