If you see or smell fuel, do not reset
the switch or try to start your vehicle.
Have all the passengers get out of the
vehicle and call the local fire
department or a towing service.
If your engine cranks but does not start after a
collision or substantial jolt:
1. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
2. Check under the vehicle for leaking fuel.
3. If you do not see or smell fuel, push the red
reset button down. If the button is already set,
you may have a different mechanical problem.

If you see or smell fuel, do not start your
vehicle again. If you do not see or smell fuel,
you can try to start your vehicle again.
Fuses
Fuses (conventional and high current) protect your
vehicle's electrical system from overloading. If
electrical parts in your vehicle are not working, the
system may have been overloaded and blown a
fuse. Before you replace or repair any electrical
parts, check the appropriate fuses (conventional and
high current).
The following charts tell you which fuses protect
each electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse blows,
all the parts of your vehicle that use that circuit
will not work.
Once you have determined which fuses to check,
follow the procedures under Checking and
replacing fuses in this chapter.
