What to do in an emergency
If the vehicle doesn't turn over
or turns over slowly
• Be sure the gear is in P (Park). The
vehicle starts only when the gear is
in P (Park).
• Check the 12-volt battery connec-
tions to be sure they are clean and
tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle. See instructions for
"Jump Starting" provided in this
chapter.
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service
do it for you.
