If the engine will not start

If the engine will not start even though correct starting proce-
dures are being followed (→P. 195), consider each of the follow-
ing points.
The engine will not start even though the starter motor operates
normally.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle's tank.
Refuel the vehicle.

ing, add the same type of fuel, if available.

first started. In this case, wait until the engine runs normally.

Try to restart the engine again following correct starting procedures.
