The correct method for connecting jumper cables to a car is: 1. Take out one positive and one negative jumper cable; 2. Remove the clips to open the battery protective cover, exposing the battery's positive and negative terminals; 3. 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; 4. Take the other jumper cable, connect one end to the negative terminal of the live battery, and then connect the other end to the engine block or body of the dead vehicle, ensuring to connect negative to negative. The method for jump-starting a battery is: 1. Park the live vehicle next to the dead vehicle, with the front ends facing each other and close; 2. Open the hoods of both vehicles and take out the charging clamps; 3. Locate the batteries of both vehicles, attach the negative clamps to the negative terminals of both batteries, and the positive clamps to the positive terminals of both batteries; 4. Start the live vehicle, charge for a few minutes, then start the dead vehicle to get it running.
