Turn Key Nothing

[toyotapob]

Hi all,

Just purchased a 2010 Verso 1.6 TR manual 6 speed, very happy so far except:

Sometimes when we put the key in the ignition and turn the key "nothing" all dash lights on but no start.

Penny for anyones thoughts.

I have that with my car, its something to do with the interference of abs or something and the alarm.

I find pressing the alarm button so it unlocks, then turning the key, fires up the engine.

May not be relative to your car, but its worth a shot.

Are you pressing the clutch pedal down fully ? you have to press the clutch pedal to start your Verso.

Sounds like a dodgy safety switch. On an automatic, there is a safety switch that only allows starting in Park and Neutral. In that case, wiggling the shift lever or shifting to Neutral often allows it to start. With a manual gearbox, the switch is on the clutch pedal lever.

As above, the clutch switch might not be working properly or you are not putting the clutch pedal to the floor, you have to on that model

Thanks to everyone who replied, never would have occurred to me that I have to depress the clutch pedal to start the car.

Since buying it I must have depressed the clutch on most occasions without realising, but not every time!

Any other quirks I should be aware of.
