If Your Engine Won't Start, Jump Starting
The Starter Operates Normally
In this case, the starter motor
sounds normal when you turn the
ignition switch to START (III), but
the engine does not run.
Are you using the proper starting
procedure? Refer to
Starting the
Engine
on page
114
.
Do you have fuel? Turn the
ignition switch to ON (II) for a
minute and watch the fuel gauge.
There may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses
(see page
204
).
If you find nothing wrong, you will
need a qualified technician to find
the problem. See
Towing
on page
207
.
Jump Starting
If your car's battery has run down,
you may be able to start the engine
by using a booster battery. Although
this seems like a simple procedure,
there are several precautions you
should take. Follow the directions
closely.
You cannot start a Honda with an
automatic transmission by pushing
or pulling it.
To jump start your car:
1. Open the hood and check the
physical condition of the battery
(see page
157
). In very cold
weather, check the condition of
the electrolyte. If it seems slushy
or like ice, do not try jump starting
until it thaws.
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can freeze.
Attempting to jump start with a
frozen battery can cause it to rupture
or explode.
2. Turn off all the electrical acces-
sories: climate control, stereo
system, lights, etc.
Put the transmission in Neutral or
Park and set the parking brake.

NOTICE
A battery can explode if you do not
follow the correct procedure,
seriously injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames and
smoking materials away from the
battery.
