Before you start, be sure
you
have enough room
around the vehicle.
2.
Firmly apply both the parking brake (see “Parking
Brake”
in
the Index if necessary) and the regular brake.
NOTE:
Do
not
use
the
accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn
off
the engine immediately if it starts.
3.
On automatic transmission vehicles, try
to
start the
engine in each gear. The starter should work only in
PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL
(N).
If
the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever
in
NEUTRAL
(N), push the clutch down halfway
and try
to
start the engine. The starter should work
only when the clutch is pushed down all the way to
the
floor.
If
the starter works when
the
clutch isn’t
pushed
all
the way down, your vehicle needs service.
