Never switch off the engine while the vehicle is in motion.
There is no brake boost for the service brake if the engine is not running. If the ignition is switched off, there is also no power assistance for the steering.

Always shift the automatic transmission into park position P before turning off the engine.
Otherwise the vehicle could roll away which could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury.

– Apply the electric parking brake.
– Shift the transmission to position P.
