Changing a Flat Tire, If Your Engine Won't Start
19. Secure the flat tire by screwing
the wing bolt back into its hole.
20. Store the jack in its holder. Turn
the jack's end bracket to lock it in
place. Replace the cover. Store the
tool kit.
Loose items can fly around the
interior in a crash and could
seriously injure the occupants.
Store the wheel, jack and tools
securely before driving.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
21. Store the center cap in the trunk.
Make sure it does not get scratch-
ed or damaged.
22. Lower the trunk floor, then close
the trunk lid.
Type SH only
If you mount the compact spare on
either front or rear tire, it may cause
the ATTS indicator light in the
instrument panel to come on due to
the difference in tire diameter. The
light will go out when the proper tire
is installed.
If Your Engine Won't Start
Diagnosing why your engine won't
start falls into two areas, depending
on what you hear when you turn the
key to START (III):
You hear nothing, or almost
nothing. The engine's starter
motor does not operate at all, or
operates very slowly.
You can hear the starter motor
operating normally, or the starter
motor sounds like it is spinning
faster than normal, but the engine
does not start up and run.
