What to Do When Your Car Battery Dies and the Engine Won't Start?

[Perry]

Here are some methods to start a car with a dead battery: 1. Push-starting; This method only works for manual transmission cars, and it's best if the battery still has some charge left. The terrain must also be suitable, otherwise it might be difficult to implement, especially on an uphill slope. First, shift into first gear, press the clutch, turn the key to the ACC position, and have someone push the car from behind. Once the car gains enough speed, release the clutch, and the car will start due to inertia. 2. Jump-starting; If you don't have an emergency jump starter—something few car owners carry—you can ask a nearby driver for help to jump-start your car. 3. Towing; Find another car to tow yours. First, secure a sturdy tow rope and firmly tie the two cars together at the front and rear. Then, you can begin towing. Start slowly to ensure both cars move at the same speed, and always pay attention to road safety. If another vehicle approaches from behind, promptly notify the towing car and slowly pull over to the roadside.
