If your car won’t start, there are a few things you can do to try and get it going. For example, you can try turning the key in the ignition a few times. If that doesn’t work, you can try pushing down on the battery connection and trying to turn the car over. If none of these methods work, you’ll need to call a tow truck or an auto mechanic.

If you have a car with an immobilizer, you will need to disable the car before you can break the ignition.
To disable the car:
1) Open the door nearest the key (usually the driver’s side), and remove the key from the ignition.
2) Turn off the car by pressing and holding both of the Ignition Off switches on either side of the steering wheel.
3) Close each door and lock them using your key.
4) Reconnect your key to your car, and insert it into the ignition. The green dash light should come on and stay on while you are driving.

When you find yourself stranded on the side of the road with a car that won’t start, there are a few things you can do to try and get it running again. The first is to check all of the obvious things: make sure your battery is charged, check the fluids in the engine, and so on. If those don’t work, you may have to try some more advanced techniques.
If you’re able to turn off the car’s engine by holding down the disarm button, this will minimize any damage if there’s an accident while you’re trying to fix it. However, if your car has a keyless ignition system, holding down the disarm button won’t work—you’ll need to find your key fob or remote control in order to turn off the car.
