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.

To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, put the transmission into (P after the vehicle  
comes to a complete stop.
