How to start a Buick LaCrosse when the battery is dead?

First, open the hoods of both vehicles, use jumper cables to connect the positive and negative terminals of the two car batteries together, then start the car that is in good condition and press the accelerator in neutral. Before pushing the car, turn on the ignition switch. Once a certain speed is reached, shift the gear lever into gear, then release the clutch pedal and press the accelerator. Once started, quickly depress the clutch. If you have an emergency power supply, the problem of a dead battery can be easily solved. The operation is also very simple—just connect its clamps to the battery. Currently, most insurance companies offer this service. As long as you are not in a remote area, road assistance can arrive quickly.
When my Buick LaCrosse runs out of battery, I have a standard emergency plan. Find a running car to provide a jump start, connect the jumper cables: positive to positive, negative to the metal part of my car's engine or the body frame. After ensuring secure connections, let the rescue car run its engine for a few minutes before starting mine. Once started, don't rush to drive; let the engine run for about half an hour to charge, preventing sudden stalling. I also regularly check the cables for looseness or rust. Low temperatures in winter can cause more frequent battery failures, so I usually keep a portable jump starter in the car as a backup. An old car running out of power often means the battery has reached the end of its lifespan. Regularly testing the voltage at a repair shop or considering a new battery can save a lot of trouble.
