In this case, the starter motor’s
speed sounds normal, or even faster
than normal, when you turn the
ignition switch to the START (III)
position, but the engine does not run. After you parked the vehicle for
an extended period or when the
outside temperature becomes very
high, water stays in the fuel
system and the engine will not
start. In this case, you should drain
the water from the fuel filter (see
page
).
If you find nothing wrong, you will
need a qualified technician to find
the problem. See
on page .
Are you using the proper starting
procedure? Refer to
on page on petrol
models and page on diesel
models.
Are you using a properly coded
key? An improperly coded key will
cause the immobilizer system
indicator in the instrument panel
to blink rapidly (see page
).
Do you have fuel? Check the fuel
gauge; the low fuel indicator may
not be working.
After you have stored your vehicle
for an extended period, air may
have entered the fuel system (see
on
page ).
If your vehicle runs out of fuel,
priming the fuel system is
required to restart the engine (see
page
).
On vehicles with a fuel cutoff
system, the fuel cutoff switch may
be activated. If the switch is
activated, it must be reset before
starting the engine (see page
).
There may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses
(see page
).
