Engine off switch in a Toyota Echo

I want to install a bush button momentary off switch somewhere, to turn off the engine in my 2001 Toyota Echo. Where in the wiring would I hook it up?



THANKS!!

Its always easiest IMO to cut wires inside the cabin so you don't have to run wires to the engine bay. Either way though works fine.
