If the engine will not start, see "If your
vehicle will not start" on page 306 in this
Section.
CAUTION
D
If the engine is not running, the
power assist for the brakes and
steering will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual.
D
Vehicles with smart key system—
If the engine stalls while driving, do
not open the driver's door until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Opening the driver's door locks the
steering wheel, resulting in loss of
steering control.
