Push Start a Car with Automatic Transmission

If your car has an automatic transmission, you can push start it if the battery is dead.

Here are the steps on how to push start a car with automatic transmission:

1. Find a helper car.

You will need another car to help push your car. The helper car should be facing in the same direction as your car.

2. Connect the two cars with a tow rope or jumper cables.

The tow rope or jumper cables should be attached to the tow hooks on the front of both cars.

3. Put your car in neutral.

This will allow the car to be pushed.

4. Turn the ignition key to the “on” position.

This will power up the car’s electrical system.

5. Have the helper car driver start their car and put it in gear.

The helper car driver should slowly release the clutch and start driving forward.

6. As the helper car is pushing your car, slowly release the brake pedal.

Your car should start to move forward.

7. Once your car is moving, you can shift into drive and drive away.

Here are some additional tips for push starting a car with automatic transmission:

• Make sure the tow rope or jumper cables are properly attached to the tow hooks on both cars.
• Do not let the tow rope or jumper cables drag on the ground.
• Be careful not to over-rev the helper car’s engine.
• If your car does not start after a few attempts, you may need to check the battery or starter.

Push starting a car with automatic transmission can be a tricky process, but it is possible with a little practice.
