How to Jump Start Your Car

Sometimes our car needs that extra kick to get it turned over and running. Whether your battery is on its final legs or you left your headlights on while you were at work, you don’t have to call a tow truck just yet. You can try to jump start your vehicle.

What you will need to jump-start your vehicle:

• Jumper cables
• A second, working vehicle

After you have your equipment set up, you’re ready to attempt to get your car running again.

1. Have the second vehicle move close enough to yours, so the jumper cables will reach.
2. Put both vehicles in Park or Neutral and shut off the “jumping” car.
3. Match the jumper cables positive clips to the positive terminals on both batteries. (Positive is Red and has a “+”).
4. Attach the Negative clip to the helping car and attach the other negative clip to an unpainted metal surface under the car in need’s hood. Connecting the negative clip could lead to unnecessary sparks. (Negative is Black and has a “-“).
5. Have the helping car start their engine. And allow it to run for a few minutes before the next step.
6. Attempt to start the dead vehicle.
7. If all goes well, remove the cables and thank your helper.

Now that you know how to jump start your car in an emergency, know that there are portable jump starters that you charge up and leave in your car, so you can do it yourself. Consider one of these as well, as they usually are also equipped with a light and air compressor for your tires.

On The Fence About an Electric Vehicle? How Does Renting a Battery Sound?

A major skepticism towards electric cars is the worry about their battery packs. If the battery pack fails or needs to be replaced, you are out of options if you want your car to run. 

An option already available in Europe, many electric car manufactures plan on bringing the option to lease batteries for your electric car. Leasing the battery, instead of purchasing it, along with the car will save you money upfront. The owner won’t have to worry about the battery failing outside of the warranty, because it will be fully covered since you’re paying for it monthly. 

For more information about the renting of electric car batteries, read this mother nature network article. For information on the Mitsubishi’s very own electric vehicle, the iMiEV, dial Wantagh Mitsubishi at (800) 492-6824! 

A Few Ways to Help Our Planet This Earth Day and Everyday!

There are more ways to help out our planet than you think. If you can’t go out today and buy a new iMiEV electric car or convert your home to run on solar energy, that doesn't mean that there aren't other, simple changes you can make in your life to help out our planet.

50waystohelp.com gives us some simple ways tips and tricks we can follow to better our environment.  Let’s see a few examples:

• Turn your computers off at night – No need to leave it on all night and waste energy consumption! Turn it off before you go to sleep and turn it back on in the morning. You can even turn it off while you’re at work, if no one is going to be using it.
• Turn off the faucet while you brush – You’re not using the water while you brush, only have it on when you need to rinse!
• Turn off a light when you don’t need it, or if you’re going to leave a room. Same as with your computer, if you don’t need it, don’t waste it! You’ll not only save energy and money, but the light bulb will last longer!
• Go Paperless – Pay your bills online and cut out on sending checks through the mail. You can even cancel your paper statements! All your information can usually be accessible online.
• Recycle – Recycling doesn’t necessarily mean bring soda cans and bottles to the grocery store. You can recycle items around the house such as wire hangers, old cell phones and computers. 
• Reuse – Use reusable cups, mugs, plates, etc. No need go through tons of paper cups and plates.
