How To Jump A Car?

To jump start a car with a dead battery using another car as a power source:

1. Park the working car next to the car with the dead battery.
2. Make sure both cars are in park and have their parking brakes engaged.
3. Turn off both cars.
4. Open the hoods of both cars.
5. Connect one clamps of the jumper cables to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery.
6. Connect the other end of that cable to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery.
7. Connect one clamp of the second cable to the negative (-) terminal of the good battery.
8. Connect the last clamp to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery, such as the engine block or a bracket.
9. Start the car with the good battery and let it run for a few minutes.
10. Try to start the car with the dead battery. If it doesn't start, let the good car run for a few more minutes and try again.
11. Once the dead car is running, disconnect the cables in reverse order.

Never connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the dead battery, as this could cause a spark.
