Diagnosing why the engine won’t
start falls into two areas, depending
on what you hear when you turn the
ignition switch to the START (III)
position:

You hear nothing, or almost
nothing. The engine’s starter
motor does not operate at all, or
operates very slowly.

You can hear the starter motor
operating normally, or the starter
motor sounds like it is spinning
faster than normal, but the engine
does not start up and run.

Store the wheel cover or center
cap in the trunk. Make sure it does
not get scratched or damaged.

Lower the trunk floor, then close
the trunk lid.

Your vehicle’s original tire has a
tire pressure monitoring system
sensor. To replace a tire, refer to

(see

page

).

Place the flat tire face down in the
spare tire well.

Remove the spacer cone from the
wing bolt, turn it over, and put it
back on the bolt.

Secure the flat tire by screwing
the wing bolt back into its hole.

Store the jack and tools in the tool
kit case. Place the tool kit case in
the center of the flat tire.
