Even the most dependable Land Rover vehicles can encounter a dead battery. Getting stranded in the middle of the road can disrupt your daily routine, so it’s crucial to know how to respond in case of an emergency. Learn the basics of jump-starting your battery with our Land Rover service department in Bellevue, WA.
How to Jump-Start Your Land Rover Vehicle
Before attempting a jump-start, prioritize your safety. Harsh weather conditions like rain or snow can create an electrical hazard. If the weather isn't cooperating, call your nearest Land Rover dealership or emergency roadside service for a tow to the dealership.
Attach Cable Clamps to Batteries
If the weather is clear and you have a helping hand, ensure both vehicles are off. Connect the red jumper cable clamp to your dead battery's positive (+) terminal. Attach the other red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the working car's battery. Next, connect the black clamp to the working car's negative (-) terminal. Attach the final black clamp to a solid, unpainted metal grounding point on your Land Rover vehicle's frame or engine block, away from the battery.
Start Your Engine
Start the working car’s engine and let it run for a few minutes to allow its battery to charge yours. Attempt to start your Land Rover vehicle. If it turns on successfully, let the engine run for at least fifteen minutes. If your Land Rover vehicle doesn't start, you likely need a new battery, so contact roadside assistance and have your vehicle brought to our service center.
Diagnosing Battery Issues
A dead battery can sometimes indicate underlying issues like a failing starter or alternator, or a different issue with the electrical system. Schedule a service appointment at Land Rover Bellevue for additional assistance. Our expert technicians can diagnose the root cause of the problem and ensure your vehicle is ready to get back on the road.
