Helpful Hints

If, for any reason, during an unsuccessful start attempt, «flooded» spark plugs, use the mode «purge» cylinders. To do this, press the accelerator pedal all the way and turn on the starter. In this mode, there is no fuel supply and excess gasoline will be removed from the cylinders by a stream of fresh air, while the spark plugs are dried. After purging, try starting again in the normal way.

- the ignition system does not work;
- the power system is not working.
Note. In addition to the main reasons listed, the engine may not start if the canister purge valve malfunctions or if air is sucked through the hose connections of the fuel vapor recovery system.
