Not a single driver is insured against the fact that at one "perfect" moment he will simply take and run out of battery. It is especially sad when this happens in the cold season - late autumn or winter. If the battery charge is at the bottom, and there is no one nearby, this is not a reason to despair and give up. There is at least one proven methodology that, with the right effort, will make it a winner in this situation. Here are literally step-by-step instructions on what to do.

IMPORTANT: the described technique is rather unsafe. Remember to be careful and remember TB. In particular, do not wind the cable around the wheel rim of the car, and also tie it around your hand.

To do this, you first need to place the machine so that it is completely motionless. It is recommended to use both the parking brake and wheel chocks. If you don't have those with you, we use everything that is at hand. For example, stones or some pieces of wood. Next, we need to spin up the motor. To do this, we hang out one of the driving wheels with a jack. It is necessary to raise it so that it not only hangs in the air, but also rotates freely.

Note: when lifting the wheel, we make our choice depending on the drive of the car.

Now, turn on the gear (preferably third) and ignition. We unfold the free wheel as it is convenient. Then, we wind the cable on it in 3-5 turns. You can use either the towing rope directly or any other more or less strong and reliable rope. We wind up as tight as possible.

There is nothing left - we pull the cable, sharply and quickly. The wheel should start spinning and transmit torque to the engine. Most often it won't work the first time. We repeat our attempts to the bitter end. As soon as the engine starts, you need to engage in neutral and carefully lower the car.
