If the vehicle will not start

The vehicle may not start if the battery level is low.

Check the battery level by performing the following procedure.

1
Be sure the shifter dial is in P (Park). The vehicle starts only when the shifter dial is in P (Park).
2
Check the 12-volt battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3
Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the starter, the battery is drained.
WARNING

Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
