1.
o 1. Read your owner's manual, as it will describe any peculiarities involved in
jump-starting your vehicle.
o 2.
Pull a car with a charged battery next to the car with the dead battery, situating the
two batteries as close together as you can without allowing the two cars to touch.
o 3. Turn off both engines, pull out the keys, put both cars in park, engage the
emergency brakes and open the hoods.
o 4.
Attach a red-handled/positive jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal (the one
with the plus sign) of the charged battery.
o 5 .
Connect the other red-handled clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery.
o 6.
Attach the neighboring black/negative cable to the car with the dead battery.
Clamp it somewhere where the current can ground out, such as a bolt or bracket
on the engine. You can also attach it to any metal, unpainted part of the vehicle's
frame.
o 7. Ground the other black/negative cable on the charging car, as described in the
previous step. Be careful, as a small spark may be produced.
o 8. Attempt to start the car that has the dead battery.
o 9 .Re-adjust the red/positive clamp on the dead car if there is no response; try re-
clamping it to the terminal or turning it for a better connection. Keep trying to
start the dead car.
o 10. Once the dead car is running, remove the clamps one at a time in reverse
order.
o 11 .Allow the jump-started car to run for half an hour in order to charge the
battery. It will charge whether driving or idling.

Steps
You Will Need
Working car
Jumper cables
1. Warning
Never attempt to jump-start a battery that is frozen, cracked, or damaged in any way. It
could explode when connected to another battery.
2. Step 1.Position cars
Position the working car as close to the dead car as possible. Ideally, that means hood
to hood with a few inches in between.
3. Step 2.Turn off both engines
Turn off both engines.
4. Tip
Never light a match or smoke near a car battery. The battery contains hydrogen, a highly
explosive gas.
5. Step 3.Open hoods of both cars
Open the hoods of both cars.
6. Step 4.Identify terminals on car batteries
Identify the positive and negatives terminals on both car batteries. They will be labeled
with a plus sign for positive and minus sign for negative.
7. Step 5.Connect red clamp to dead battery
Connect one of the red clamps on the jumper cables to the positive terminal on the dead
battery.
8. Step 6.Connect red clamp to working battery
Connect the other red clamp to the positive terminal on the working cars battery.
9. Step 7.Connect black clamp to working battery
Connect the black clamp on the jumper cables to the negative terminal on the working
cars battery.
10. Step 8.Clip black clamp to dead car's engine
Clip the remaining black clamp to a clean metal part of the dead cars engine to ground
the circuit.
11. Step 9.Attempt to start dead car
Attempt to start the dead car. If it doesn't start, disconnect the jumper cables in the
reverse order: first the black clamps (starting with the once-dead car), then the red clamps
(starting with the working car). Start the engine of the working car and allow it to run for
about five minutes to boost its battery.
12. Step 10.Attempt to start again
Turn off the working car and again attempt to jump the dead car by connecting the cables
-- in order -- and starting the ignition.
13. Step 11.Disconnect jumper cables
Once the car starts, disconnect all the clamps in the reverse order.
14. Step 12.Charge battery or go to repair shop
If youre confident that your dead battery was just drained by accident, keep your car
running to charge it back up -- otherwise, go directly to a repair shop without shutting off
the engine, or you risk having the battery die on you again.
15. Fact
Contrary to popular belief, heat -- not cold -- is the most common cause of car battery
breakdowns.


Terkunci kereta.

Jika tertinggal kunci kereta dalam kereta dan kereta anda ketika itu terkunci dari dalam. Mesti
anda lakukan pelbagai cara untuk mendapatkan kembali kunci bagi membuka semula kereta
anda.

Jangan risau, telefon bimbit boleh membantu, tapi bagi kereta yang menggunakan system
penggera ( alarm ) sahaja. Caranya, cuba anda hubungi seseorang yang berada di rumah. Minta
dia ambilkan kunci pendua kereta anda.

Kemudian pegang telefon bimbit anda dari jarak kira-kira 30 sm ( satu kaki ) dari kereta yang
terkunci itu. Minta pula keluarga atau teman di rumah menekan punat ' ON ' pada kunci pendua
kereta dan pastikan dia menekan dengan mendekatkan pada telefon bimbitnya. Pasti kereta anda
tidak terkunci lagi, malah ia boleh dilakukan dari jarak beratus-ratus kilometer dari tempat kereta
anda berada. Kerana itu juga, penting untuk anda menyimpan kunci pendua atau meminta orang
yang anda percayai untuk menyimpannya.

Penting juga penggunaan telefon bimbit dalam keadaan sebegini. Kaedah ini memang berkesan
kerana beberapa orang telah mencubanya.
