A dead car battery can leave you stranded, but following these steps will help you get your car started and back on the road:

1. Stay Calm and Park Safely

If your car battery dies while driving or parked, pull over to a safe location if possible. Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.

2.Confirm the Problem

Check for signs of a dead battery, like dim lights, no response when turning the key, or a clicking sound when attempting to start the engine.

3.Locate Jumper Cables

If you have jumper cables in your car, prepare them for use. If not, contact roadside assistance for a jump start or battery service.

4.Find a Helper Vehicle

To jump-start your battery, you’ll need another vehicle with a working battery. Make sure the helper car has the same voltage system.

5.Position Vehicles Correctly

Park the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach each vehicles battery. Turn off both engines and set the parking brakes.
