If the engine will not start
If the engine will not start even though correct starting procedures
are being followed (
→P. 145, 148), consider each of the following
points:
■ The engine will not start even though the starter motor
operates normally.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle.
Flex-fuel vehicles: The type of fuel may be different. When
refueling, add the same type of fuel, if available.
After adding a different type of fuel, the engine may run
roughly and driving performance may be reduced for a while
when the engine is first started. In this case, wait until the
engine runs normally.

Try to restart the engine again following correct starting proce-
dures. (→P. 145, 148)
● There may be a malfunction in the engine immobilizer system.

headlights are dim, or the horn does not sound or sounds at
a low volume.
