1 Answers
The method to start an automatic car with a dead battery is jump-starting. The steps for jump-starting are: 1. Prepare two jumper cables and a vehicle that can provide power; 2. Remove the buckle of the battery box to open the battery protective cover, exposing the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Both the rescue vehicle and the vehicle being rescued should be in the off state when operating on the battery; 3. Identify the positive and negative terminals of the battery. If you cannot distinguish them, avoid randomly connecting the cables; 4. Take one jumper cable, connect one end to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the live battery. Ensure the positive and negative terminals do not touch, as this poses a short-circuit risk; 5. Take the other jumper cable, first connect it to the negative terminal of the live battery, then connect the other end to the engine block or body of the dead vehicle. Avoid connecting negative to negative; 6. After the cables are properly connected, start the live vehicle to provide reliable voltage to the dead car; 7. Once the dead car is started and powered by the alternator, you can remove the jumper cables, starting with the negative cable followed by the positive one.
