position 0 for an extended period of time,
it can no longer be turned in the switch. In
this case, the steering is locked.
To unlock, remove SmartKey from
starter switch and reinsert.
If the engine does not start as described,
carry out the following steps:
Turn the SmartKey in starter switch to
position 0 and repeat the starting
procedure ( page 46).
Remember that extended starting
attempts can drain the vehicle battery.
Get a jump start ( page 386).
If the engine does not start after several
starting attempts, there could be a mal-
function in the engine electronics or in the
fuel supply system.
