1 Answers
The method for jump starting a car: 1. Prepare two jumper cables and a vehicle that can supply power; 2. Remove the buckle of the battery box to open the battery protective cover, exposing the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Both the rescue vehicle and the vehicle being rescued should be in the off state when operating on the battery; 3. Confirm the positive and negative terminals of the battery. If you cannot distinguish them, avoid connecting the cables randomly; 4. Take one jumper cable, connect one end to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the live battery. Do not let the positive and negative terminals come into contact, as there is a risk of short circuit; 5. Take the other jumper cable, first connect it to the negative terminal of the live battery, then connect the other end to the engine block or body of the dead vehicle. Avoid connecting negative to negative; 6. After the cables are properly connected, start the live vehicle to provide a reliable voltage to the dead vehicle; 7. Once the dead vehicle is started and powered by the car's alternator, you can remove the jumper cables, first disconnecting the negative terminal and then the positive terminal.
