How do you jumpstart a 2018 Honda Pilot?

What’s an easy way to jumpstart a 2018 Honda Pilot? I’m trying to get to work, but my car won’t start!

Jumping your car
 can definitely be stressful in rushed situations. Luckily, it’s easy enough to do in a hurry! All you’ll need is jumper cables and another car or car battery. Then you can follow these steps to jumpstart your 2018 Honda Civic:
  • First,
    open the hood
     of your Honda and find the battery.
  • Attach the positive clamps to the positive terminals on each battery.
  • Next, attach one end of the negative cable to the negative terminal of the working car’s battery. Then attach the other negative cable to a fixed, unpainted metal point on your Honda.
  • Start the working car and allow it to run for a few minutes before you try to start your Honda.
  • Once you get your car working again, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order that you placed them. Make sure to drive your Honda for at least five minutes afterward to let your battery recharge.
If you’re worried about your car breaking down on the road, you should consider getting roadside assistance with

Is a cell phone ticket a moving violation in California?
I currently live in Colorado, where it’s still legal to talk on the phone while driving. However, I’m currently in California for work and forgot you can’t do that here. I got a ticket for talking on my phone, and now I’m worried about the consequences. Is a cell phone ticket a moving violation in California?

How does a Capital One car loan work?
I recently moved out of my parents’ house, and while living with them, I was always able to borrow one of their cars, but now I need to buy my own for work. I’ve never taken out a loan before, but my parents said I should use Capital One because they’re the only bank I’ve ever done business with. Can you explain how a Capital One car loan works?
