the car that is away from traffic.

a straight line. Move cautiously off the

turns over slowly

the emergency brake.
2. Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.

dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is discharged.

sure they are securely tightened.

it. See instructions for "Jump starting".

nected or loose.

partment.
