First make sure you followed the correct starting procedure and that there's enough fuel.

Engine turns over slowly

  1. 1Check the battery terminals are tight and clean.
  2. 2Turn on the headlights. If they're dim, the battery is flat – try jump-starting.
  3. 3Try starting again. If it still won't start, the starting system may be faulty – contact an authorised Jaecoo service centre straight away.

Engine turns over normally but won't start

  1. 1Switch the vehicle power to OFF or ACC and try again.
  2. 2If it still won't start, repeated attempts may have put too much fuel in the cylinders. Switch OFF, wait a few minutes and try again.
  3. 3If it still won't start, contact an authorised Jaecoo service centre straight away.

Caution:Don't operate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time, or it may be damaged.

Caution:If the car becomes hard to start or stalls often, have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.
