in
the Index if necessary) and
the
regular brake.
NOTE:

the
accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn
off
the engine immediately if it starts.
3.
On automatic transmission vehicles,

to start the
engine
in
each gear. The starter should work only in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL

any other position, your vehicle needs service.

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.
