How To Jump Start Your Car Safely - 8 Steps

Now that you know what you need to jump start a car and a few things about batteries, let's move on to how to jump start your car in 8 steps.

1. Step 1: Put on your gloves and protective eyewear.

2. Step 2: Gather jumper cables, towels, and the other vehicle used as a power source.

3. Step 3: Put both cars in park and make sure both vehicles are off.

4. Step 4: Grab one of the red (positive) ends of the jumper cables and connect it to the red (positive) terminal on the vehicle that needs a jump.

5. Step 5: Grab the other red (positive) end and connect it to the red (positive) terminal on the vehicle that is the power source.

6. Step 6: Grab the black (negative) end of the jumper cables and connect it to a solid, unpainted metal part of the vehicle that needs a jump. (strut mount stud or bolt on engine). Note: you can use the negative terminal as well, but it's best practice not to.

7. Step 7: Grab the black (negative) end of the jumper cables and connect it to the negative terminal on the power source vehicle and turn the vehicle on.

8. Step 8: After 2 minutes, get inside the vehicle that needs a jump and turn it on like normal. At this point it should start, and you should disconnect the jumper cables, starting with the negative terminal.

After following these steps, you should have two running vehicles. You'll want to make sure you leave the vehicle that needed a jump running for at least 20-30 minutes, so it has enough time to recharge the dead battery on its own. Otherwise, it could not start again after shutting it off.
