Honda Civic Owners Manual: Emergency Engine Stop
Models with smart entry system
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, do either of the following operations:
- Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.
- Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables the power assist the engine 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. With manual transmission models you can also downshift the transmission to utilize engine braking.
