Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be ready to turn off the
engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the engine in each gear.

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.
