Start with a safe location
If the vehicle has stopped in a dangerous place, prioritise your safety and appropriate assistance. This general demo article is not roadside safety advice.
Describe what you notice
Tell your mechanic whether the engine turns, whether you hear a click and which warning lights are showing. Avoid repeatedly trying to start the car.
Have the vehicle details ready
The registration or make and model, location and recent history help a mechanic plan the next step. Do not assume a new battery is needed before checks.
