  2. CHECK AMOUNT OF GASOLINE 
    1. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    2. Check the amount of fuel by referring to the fuel gauge in the meter.

      OK

      Proper amount of fuel is in the tank.

      HINT: 

      • If the vehicle is driven when there is no fuel in the tank, MG1 will crank the engine but the engine will not start. For this reason, an inoperative condition of MG1 may be detected.
      • Add fuel until the low fuel level warning light turns off.

    NG → REFUEL VEHICLE 

    OK: Go to next step
