220IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
Before making these checks, make sure
you have followed the correct starting
procedure given in “How to start the
engine” on page 210 in Section 3 and that
you have sufficient fuel. Since your
vehicle is equipped with an engine
immobilizer system, also check whether
the other keys will start the engine. If
they work, your key may be broken. Have
the key checked at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional. If
none of your keys work, there may be a
malfunction in the immobilizer system. Call
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional. (See “Keys” on page 10 in
Section 1−2).
If the engine is not turning over or is
turning over too slowly—
1. Check that the battery terminals are
tight and clean.
2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch
on the interior light.
3. If the light is out, dim or goes out
when the starter is cranked, the battery
is discharged. You may try jump start-
ing. See “(c) Jump starting” on page
221 for further instructions.
If the light is OK, but the engine still will
not start, it needs adjustment or repair.
Call any authorized Toyota dealer or re-
pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
NOTICE
For manual transmission:
Do not pull−or push−start the ve-
hicle. It may damage the vehicle or
cause a collision when the engine
starts. Also the three−way catalytic
converter may overheat and become a
fire hazard.
If the engine turns over at its normal
speed but will not start—
1. Turn the engine switch to “ACC” or
“LOCK” and try starting the engine
again.
2. If the engine will not start, the engine
may be flooded because of repeated
cranking. See “(b) Starting a flooded
engine” on page 221 for further instruc-
tions.
3. If the engine still will not start, it needs
adjustment or repair. Call any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
