How to Deal with a Dead Battery in a Teana That Won't Start the Engine?

Find someone to help push the car and then start the engine. Quickly press the clutch pedal, control the throttle to prevent the engine from stalling, and slowly pull over to the side of the road. Find another car nearby with a working battery and a set of jumper cables. Connect the two car batteries using the jumper cables, positive to positive and negative to negative, to parallel the two batteries.

I've driven the Teana for several years and encountered a dead battery twice. Experience tells me the most straightforward solution is to jump-start the car using another vehicle. The steps are quite simple: prepare a pair of jumper cables, first connect the positive terminals of both cars, then the negative ones—don’t reverse them to avoid a short circuit. My car buddies often help me with this. After starting, don’t turn off the engine immediately; let the alternator charge the battery for about half an hour. Check if the battery is leaking or aging—if it’s old, replace it to avoid future issues. When parking, avoid leaving lights on or listening to music for too long to prevent draining the battery. During regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to test the battery voltage for peace of mind.
