When the car battery is dead and the vehicle cannot start, there are three emergency solutions: 1. Push-start method: Only applicable to manual transmission vehicles. First, turn the key to the ignition position, press the clutch pedal, release the handbrake, and set the gear to 1st or 2nd. Keep the clutch pedal pressed. Start pushing the car, and when the speed reaches 5 km/h, slowly release the clutch while pressing the accelerator pedal to successfully start the car. 2. Jump-start method using jumper cables: Applicable to both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. Align the front ends of the two cars or park them side by side. The other car should keep its engine running. Open both hoods, then connect the positive terminals of both batteries with a jumper cable, followed by the negative terminals. Then attempt to start the car. 3. Towing-start method: This method shares the same principle as the first one, but instead of pushing from behind, the car is pulled from the front. First, secure a tow rope and firmly tie it between the front and rear of the two cars. Then begin towing to start the car. Once the rear car starts, promptly notify the front car and slowly pull over to the roadside to stop.
