Jump starting another vehicle with MG PHEV

[Cheshire Fox]

Hi all,

My daughter's car needs a jump start using leads following the cold weather. Can I do this safely using my MG PHEV, and if so, cab anyone provide instruction, please? Thanks in advance

Look at your car manual which gives you step by step

Silly me, first port of call and I didn't even look! You're right, I'll try that first.

"Top Tip" - I would strongly consider purchasing a 12 volt battery booster pack, then you can carry it around in the car.
These are a much better and safer idea than trailing jumper leads across both cars TBH.

Good point!

Good point!

Also, as it’s an independent form of power, therefore you run no risk of causing any paint damage to your own car or it’s battery, just trying to help somebody out.
Very worth while investment !.
Get one that is powerful enough to jump a larger type engine, then you will have plenty of power in reserve.
Oh …. and yes it can be still used to jump your PHEV and a BEV.
