[QUOTE="gimli, post: 711209, member: 942"] you can jumpstart the car (although there is a slight risk). a better option is using a battery pack to jumpstart it. I heard that even if you connect it wrongly it will not damage the ecu/electronics. I usually follow the following procedure to jumpstart:- 1)REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2)Make sure the steering wheel is straight (this is to ensure that the active steering error doesn't appear) 3)Connect the jumpstart cables properly 4)Turn on the car with the good battery 5)Leave it running for about a minute (let the electronics initialize) 6)Turn the car on. Remove the jumpstart cables If the active steering lights up, you need to turn the steering all the way to the left and back again to the right. restart your car and it should go off. [/QUOTE]
