If you are having trouble starting the car, make sure the clutch is pressed down all the way. This is a safety feature most new cars come with. Unless the clutch is pressed down the car will fail to start.
If you have entered your PIN number incorrectly the car will not start. You will need to replace the keys, exit the car and lock with your GoCard. Restart the process again by opening with your GoCard after 20 seconds. Similarly if you remove the keys from the keypad before being prompted to do so, on the screen of the console, the car will not start. To resolve repeat the process above.
Beware that the fuel card can only be used in a Topaz or Circle K station, make sure to check with the garage before filling up, the fuel card is located in the glove compartment.
If the car steering wheel is locked gently try to move it while turning the key in the ignition simultaneously
