If Your Engine Won't Start
If the headlights dim noticeably or
go out when you try to start the
engine, either the battery is dis-
charged or the connections are
corroded. Check the condition of the
battery and terminal connections
(see page 177 ). You can then try
jump starting the car from a booster
battery (see page 222 ).
The Starter Operates Normally
In this case, the starter motor's
speed sounds normal, or even faster
than normal, when you press the
ENGINE START button, but the
engine does not run.
Are you using the proper starting
procedure? Refer to Starting the
Engine on page 131 .
Do you have fuel? Turn the
ignition switch to ON (II) for a
minute and watch the fuel gauge.
The low fuel level warning light
may not be working, so you were
not reminded to fill the tank.
There may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses
(see page 235 ).
If you find nothing wrong, you will
need a qualified technician to find
the problem. See Emergency
Towing on page 241 .
