How do I jump start a car?

To jump start a car, you'll need jumper cables and another vehicle with a working battery. Do you have those?

Yes, I have the cables and another car. What’s the first step?

First, park the working car close to the dead car, but make sure they don't touch. Turn off both vehicles.

Got it. What do I do next?

Connect one end of the red cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the working battery.

And then?

Next, connect one end of the black cable to the negative terminal of the working battery, and the other end to a metal ground on the dead car.

Thanks! How long should I wait before trying to start the dead car?

Wait a few minutes to allow the dead battery to charge, then try starting the car.
