your emergency hazard flashers, set
the parking brake and put the transaxle
in P (automatic transaxle) or reverse
(manual transaxle).

transaxle, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-
gency brake is set.

2. With the ignition switch in the LOCK
position, check all connectors at igni-
tion coils and spark plugs. Reconnect
any that may be disconnected or
