What to Do When the Wuling Rongguang's Battery is Dead and the Car Won't Start?
1 Answers
If the battery is dead and the car won't start, you can try push-starting, jump-starting with jumper cables, or towing it to a 4S shop for repair using a flatbed rescue vehicle. The lifespan of a Wuling Rongguang battery is generally 2 to 3 years. Beyond this period, pay special attention to battery maintenance and replace it promptly when necessary to avoid potential hazards. Here are more detailed solutions: 1. Push-starting: Push-starting is the most familiar and effective emergency starting method, but it should only be used as a last resort and not frequently. This method can cause some damage to the engine and clutch, especially in automatic transmission vehicles, which should avoid this method. If there are no passengers, try asking pedestrians for help. First, shift into first gear, press the clutch, turn the key to the ACC position, and have helpers push the car from behind. Once the car gains speed, release the clutch, and the car will start due to inertia. 2. Jump-starting with jumper cables: If you don't have an emergency starter, you can ask nearby car owners for help to jump-start your car. Be careful not to connect the positive and negative terminals incorrectly—remember, positive to positive and negative to negative. Otherwise, connecting positive to negative will cause a short circuit. Locate the batteries of both cars, identify the positive and negative terminals (usually marked with a red cover and a plus sign). Remove the terminal covers and clamp the red jumper cable onto the positive terminal. Connect the red cable first, then the black one. Once all four terminals are connected, the jump-start is ready. After the cables are connected, start the dead car to charge the battery. 3. Towing: As a last resort, you can tow the car. First, find a sturdy tow rope and securely tie the front and rear of both vehicles together. Then, start towing slowly, ensuring both cars maintain the same speed. Pay attention to traffic safety and notify the towing vehicle if another car approaches from behind, then slowly pull over to the roadside.
