Allt is Turenchi and people are still giving the RIGHT ANSWERS to the QUESTION THAT WAS NOT ASKED!

Its simple.
Can U push an automatic transmission vehicle till it starts? Assume the Adekunle downward slope of 3rd mainland-Can U push an AUTOMATIC car down that bridge and it will start when U PUT IT IN GEAR?

Simple.
The other question does not need an answer. You can Jumpstart any car with battery cables/Functioning battery.
grin Maybe U can even jumpstart Caterpillar grin
U fit Jumpstart Boeing 747

Fhemmmy: Auto rides do not do a "Push me to Start" thing.
You will need teh jump cable to connect a good battery to your dead battery and one time will respond, however, it means you cant turn off the engine if the battery is really bad, else, you will have to jump start it again. . .

[b]and make sure you know the radio code cos you will have to use it to code the radio once you change your battery.


Good luck[/b]

The black bolded above IS NOT TRUE Sir!

Even as of yesterday, l still jump-started my Automatic Avensis
(my kids left the back inner lights on for over twelve hours and it wont start by itself) and l have done this a few times.
At no time did l have to "recode" the Radio.
The worst that happened was that my "stored local radio stations" needed to be stored again.
And that does not require any codes.

Maybe you're referring to old models of Automatics (like pre 2002) sha or did l get you wrong?

Lastpage!

BTW: I would recommend to anyone that drives an automatic Transmission car to have in his/her car ALWAYS:
1.) Jump Cables

also,
Electronic battery charger that you can plug to an A/C outlet.

If my battery runs flat at home and l dont have access to another car's battery to jump-start it, l recharge it myself using number 2.
With number one, all you need is a good samaritan to spare you one minute (at anywhere) and you are good to go,

@OP, did you really say you tried it and it worked or you just copied and pasted something from somewhere?

WARNING ! ! don't attempt to jump start a hybrid cars. Just change the battery to a fully charged battery. Also you must wait at least 5 minutes before you do anything to the vehicle. These vehicle can electric shoke you. Also their immobilizer can shut down, thinking you are about to steal the car. In that case you may need a new immo, brainbox and so on. As the key will no longer be accepted and will need to be relearned. E.g Chrysler,Lexus,Hondas

Please always re-check your car manuals don't take my word.

i don't believe automatic transmission can be jumpstarted but anybody can prove that wrong by actually giving us the steps to do that not cable this, cable that.
Away from Jumpstarting, i requested anybody with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION Honda babyboy to give me quotation and pix.

oblo:
You are stuck in a desolate place cuz your battery gave up on you in your auto drive 2006 honda accord. U tried all you could but it never could start cuz the battery was too weak to fully crank up the engine. Is there no way that car can be jumpstarted I want opinion from gurus in car tech if there is any way it can be done without any major negative effect on the car. Let's all learn.

there is a difference between jump starting and push starting

you are asking about push starting

any car can jump started, jump starting is when either connect cables from another car to your car or use jump start packs nowdays there are portable jump packs
