1 Answers
The correct steps for jump-starting a car are: 1. Prepare two battery cables, and position the rescue vehicle and the vehicle to be rescued head-to-head, with the rescue vehicle's engine running; 2. Locate the batteries of both vehicles, identify the positive and negative terminals of the batteries, and ensure not to mix up the positive and negative connections; 3. Connect one end of the red positive battery cable to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the vehicle to be rescued's battery; 4. Connect one end of the black negative battery cable to the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the other end to the negative terminal of the vehicle to be rescued's battery; 5. When connecting the cables, connect one cable at a time rather than connecting one vehicle before moving to the other, and be careful not to let the positive and negative terminals touch each other to avoid causing a short circuit; 6. Once the battery cables are properly connected, the vehicle to be rescued can be started normally.
