NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in
LOCK
and you can’t turn it, be sure
it is all the
way
in.
If
it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a
tool
to
force it could break the key or the
ignition switch.
If
none of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.

Starting Your Gasoline Engine
If
you
have a diesel engine, see “Starting Your Diesel Engine” in the Index.
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification
Number
(VIN)
shows
the
code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the
VIN
at
the
top left
of
your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number”
in
the Index.) Follow the proper steps
to
start the
engine.
