First, engage first gear, press the clutch, and turn the key to the ACC position while having a friend push the car from behind. Once the car gains speed, release the clutch, and the car will start successfully due to inertia.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang MINI for two years, and when the small battery runs out of power, don't panic. It's usually due to leaving electrical devices on for too long while parked or battery aging. First, check if anything in the car was left on, like lights or the stereo. Try jump-starting: connect the red clamp to the positive terminal of the car battery and the black clamp to a metal part of the engine, then drive for about ten minutes to recharge. If no help is available, call your insurance company for roadside assistance or visit a local repair shop. Preventive measures: test the battery voltage monthly to see if it drops below 12V, turn off all devices before parking, and especially in winter, park in a garage to reduce cold-start wear. A dead small battery doesn't affect the main battery, and it's quick to fix, so no need to worry too much.
Yesterday, I encountered a dead small battery, and my Wuling MINI wouldn't start, which was really frustrating. I jump-started it using a friend's car, and it was super simple: just clamp the jumper cables correctly to the positive and negative terminals. A portable jump starter is quite handy; keeping one in the car is very convenient. Check if there are any devices in the car that might be draining power, like forgetting to unplug a power bank. Always remember to turn off all electrical devices before shutting off the engine to avoid battery drain. This issue is common but not a big deal; after handling it, the car runs as usual and doesn't affect the daily commuting fun.
