The process 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 rescued vehicle should operate on the battery in a turned-off state; 3. Confirm the positive and negative terminals of the battery. If you cannot distinguish them, avoid connecting them 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. Ensure the positive and negative terminals do not come into contact, as this poses a short-circuit risk; 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 starts and is powered by the car alternator, you can remove the jumper cables, first disconnecting the negative terminal and then the positive terminal.
