If the Engine Will Not Start
If you are not out of fuel, and the engine will not start,
do this:
Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN. Immediately after
the wait to start light goes off, turn the ignition key
to START.
If the light does not go off, wait a few seconds, then try
starting the engine again. And, see your dealer/retailer
as soon as you can for a starting system check.
If the light comes on and then goes off and you know
the batteries are charged, but the engine still will not
start, the vehicle needs service.
If the light does not come on when the engine is cold,
the vehicle needs service.
If the batteries do not have enough charge to start the
engine, see
