So much mis information about those cars out there. I have a 2010 Prius and can state from personal experience.
The engine will shut down at any speed, throttle position or gear shift position, by holding down the kill button for 3.3 seconds. A momentary poke at it, done in panic will not do it. Think,!! then react.
The transmission will shift to nuetral at any speed or throttle opening, but you must hold it in the spring loaded nuetral gate for several seconds. a quick jab then release of the lever will not work. Think !!, then react.
