engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the engine in each gear.
The starter should work only in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). If the
starter works in any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever in
NEUTRAL (N),
push the clutch down halfway and try to start the engine. The starter
should work only when the clutch is pushed down all the way to the
floor.
If the starter works when the clutch isn’t pushed all the way
down, your vehicle needs service.

pedal.
Do this until the vehicle is held by the parking brake only.
To check the PARK (P) mechanism’s holding ability: Shift to PARK
(P). Then release all brakes.

cause a heat build-up in
the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes into the
vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
