  2. Change the gear to P (Park) or N (Neutral).

  3. Check if the battery and starter connections are clean and tight.

    • The battery is discharged if the interior light dims or goes out when you start the vehicle.

WARNING

If the engine does not start, do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. This could result in a collision or cause other damage. In addition, push or pull starting may cause the catalytic converter to be overloaded and create a fire hazard.
