2022 Honda Civic Owner’s Manual — Emergency Engine Stop

Handling the Unexpected

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 three times.

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.


Continuously variable transmission models

The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.
To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, put the transmission into P after the vehicle comes to a complete stop.


Manual transmission models

The power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.

Detail
Do not press the ENGINE START/STOP button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be turned off.
If you press the ENGINE START/STOP button while driving, the beeper sounds.
