If your car is started using the jump-start method due to a dead battery, you can turn off the engine after about half an hour. The exact time may vary depending on the remaining charge of the battery. Below are the specific steps for jump-starting a car: 1. Take one cable and connect one end to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the dead battery. 2. Take another cable and connect one end to the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the other end to a metal part of the engine of the car with the dead battery. 3. Start the rescue vehicle, then follow the normal steps to start the car with the dead battery. 4. Once the car with the dead battery is successfully started, let it idle for about half an hour to recharge its battery.
