What happens when you try to start it?
If the car is safely parked, check whether the dashboard lights up, the engine turns over and a warning appears. Say whether the car was unused all week or ran the day before. Slow starting on the drive up is worth mentioning as well. Avoid wearing the battery and starter down with repeated attempts.
Can I use jump leads at the cabin?
Read the car’s handbook before connecting anything. Modern cars may have specific terminals and rules for external power. If you are unsure about the battery or connections, call and describe the issue. If both cars are close together on an icy slope, talk through the help before moving them just to make the leads reach.
