Describe what happens

Does the engine turn without starting, do you hear a click, or is the dashboard completely dark? These situations can have different causes. Note warning lights, unusual sounds and when you last drove the car. Avoid repeated attempts: they can drain the battery further without solving the fault.

Explain the vehicle and its location

Provide the make, model, year and powertrain. In a hybrid or electric vehicle, the auxiliary battery is separate from the traction battery. If the car is inside a garage, mention the entrance height and available space. Do not dismantle components to attempt an improvised diagnosis.

Arrange suitable assistance

Share your exact location and symptoms with the assistance provider. A jump-start, an inspection or transport to a workshop may be appropriate depending on the fault. Consult the vehicle handbook before handling anything and let a professional choose compatible equipment. Mention recent repairs and any accessories that were left switched on.
