A »To jump-start a vehicle safely, park cars close without touching. Turn off both ignitions. Connect red clamp to dead battery's positive, then to donor battery's positive. Attach black clamp to donor battery's negative, then to unpainted metal on dead car. Start donor car, then dead car. Once started, remove clamps in reverse order. Ensure cables don't touch until disconnected. Drive the revived car for at least 20 minutes to recharge.
