While driving in heavy traffic on the interstate attempted to change lanes and accelerate, car suddenly lost power and the "see manual" light illuminated with tool - fortunately was able to coast car off exit ramp safely and pull over, at which point the engine chugged and stalled. First restart "see manual" light still on, sputtered and stalled. Turned off vehicle. 2nd attempt same as 1st. 3rd came on and ran without engine light and seemed to rev up higher than normal, then came back down. No other indications appeared other than "no use of auto brake available".
