3. Detailed steps for power-on startup (the most popular method recently)
1.Preparation stage:Confirm that the battery voltage of both vehicles is the same (usually 12V), turn off all electrical equipment, and prepare red (positive pole) and black (negative pole) wires.
2.Connection sequence:First connect the positive pole of the rescue vehicle → the positive pole of the faulty vehicle → the negative pole of the rescue vehicle → the metal body of the faulty vehicle (not the negative pole of the battery). This sequence has recently been highlighted in Douyin popular science videos.
3.Start operation:Keep the engine of the rescue vehicle running (about 2000 rpm) and try to start the faulty vehicle. If it fails within 5 seconds, try again after 30 seconds.
