What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
2.When the vehicle is stopped, turn on
your hazard warning flasher, set the
parking brake and put the transaxle in
P (automatic transaxle) or reverse
(manual transaxle).
3.Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.
If the engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1.If your vehicle has an automatic
transaxle, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-
gency brake is set.
2.Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
3.Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate the
starter, the battery is discharged.
If the engine turns over normally
but does not start
1.Check the fuel level.

OFF position, check all connectors at
the ignition coils and spark plugs.
