When you turn the ignition switch to

the START (III) position, you do not

hear the normal noise of the engine

trying to start. You may hear a

clicking sound, a series of clicks, or

nothing at all.

Check these things:

Check the transmission interlock.

If you have a manual transmission,

the clutch pedal must be pushed

all the way to the floor or the

starter will not operate. With an

automatic transmission, it must be

in Park or neutral.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON

(II) position. Turn on the

headlights, and check their

brightness. If the headlights are

very dim or do not come on at all,

the battery is discharged. See

on page .

Store the jack and tools in the tool

case. Place the tool case in the

center of the flat tire.

Store the wheel cover or center

cap in the trunk. Make sure it does

not get scratched or damaged.

Lower the trunk floor, and close

the trunk lid.

Your vehicle’s original tire has a

tire pressure monitoring system

sensor. To replace a tire, refer to

(see

page ).

Diagnosing why the engine won’t

start falls into two areas, depending

on what you hear when you turn the

ignition switch to the START (III)

position:

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.
