Caution: If the engine does not start, do not attempt to start it while towing the vehicle. Doing so may result in an accident or other damage. Moreover, starting the engine by towing may overload the catalytic converter and cause a fire.
If the engine does not turn over with the starter or turns over very slowly
1. If your car is equipped with an automatic transmission, move the selector to the position "R" or "N" and apply the emergency brake.
2. Check the wire connections to the battery terminals to make sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior lamp. If the lamp burns weakly or goes out when the starter is engaged, then the battery is discharged.
4. Check up tightness of connections of wires of a starter.
5. Do not start the engine by towing. See emergency starting instructions on the following pages.
