Here are the detailed methods for jump-starting a car: 1. Using another vehicle for jump-starting. Below are the specific steps for jump-starting with another vehicle: (1) When jump-starting a car, you need to use jumper cables, which come in red and black. The red cable is the positive line, and the black cable is the negative line. First, take out the red positive jumper cable, connect one end to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the other vehicle's battery. (2) Then, take out the black negative jumper cable, connect one end to the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery and the other end to the negative terminal of the other vehicle's battery. (3) During the connection process, avoid letting the cables touch any metal parts of the car body to prevent a short circuit. 2. Using an external power source for jump-starting. After connecting the positive and negative cables correctly, you can start the vehicle. Once the car starts successfully, remove the jumper cables carefully, ensuring they do not touch any metal parts of the body or other components. Then, let the engine idle or drive for more than half an hour to allow the engine to charge the car's battery.
