Jump starting your car can be an easy way to get it going if the battery is flat. However, if they are not used correctly then using jump leads can cause damage not only to the leads but more critically to the car’s electronic systems and the Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

Therefore, if you feel comfortable in doing it yourself then look at the advice below on how to do it correctly, consult your car’s handbook or alternatively give a call to the roadside assistance companies or your insurance company and they will organise a trained mechanic to come out to you.
