Do Cars Come with Jumper Cables?
1 Answers
Cars do not come with jumper cables; owners need to purchase them separately. For general household vehicles, jumper cables with a diameter of 10mm or larger are recommended. Excessively long jumper cables can lead to power loss and affect the vehicle's startup, so a length of 3-4 meters is ideal. Below are the details about jump-starting: Jump-starting Method: First, open the engine hood by locating the switch under the steering wheel. Then, find the battery position under the hood and identify the positive and negative terminals. Connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery first, then to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery. Next, connect the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle to the negative terminal of the dead battery. After starting the rescue vehicle's engine, wait for the dead vehicle's engine to start, then remove the positive cable first, followed by the negative cable. Let the rescued vehicle's engine run for a while to ensure the battery gets sufficient charge. Jump-starting Precautions: Jumper cables are for emergency use when a vehicle fails to start. You can ask a passing car for help to jump-start your vehicle. The method involves connecting your car battery's positive terminal to another vehicle's positive terminal and the negative to negative, then starting your vehicle as an emergency measure.
