What to Do When the Car Battery Dies While Parked in a Parking Space?
1 Answers
The car won't start if the battery is dead. Here 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, release the handbrake, and set the gear to 1st or 2nd. Keep the clutch pressed. Start pushing the car, and when the speed reaches 5 km/h, slowly release the clutch while pressing the accelerator to start the car smoothly. 2. Jump-start Method: Suitable for both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. Align the fronts of two cars. The assisting car should keep its engine running. Open both hoods, then connect the positive terminals and negative terminals of both batteries with jumper cables. Attempt to start the car. If there are no other issues, the car should start smoothly. 3. Tow-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 the front and rear of both cars together. Then begin towing to start the car. Once the towed car starts, promptly notify the towing car and slowly pull over to the roadside to park.
