2.6 Engine Stop Switch
Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop
switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is
pulled away, it will shut off the engines.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a

engines will not start if the clip is not inserted
into the stop switch. Make sure the lanyard
is properly attached to the engine stop
switch before attempting to start the engine.

Pursuit Dealer and have it repaired.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more
