6. Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or

missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock.
The vehicles could also be damaged.

Before you connect the cables, here are some basic
things you should know. Positive (+) will go to
positive (+) and negative (

-

) will go to a heavy,

unpainted metal engine part. Don’t connect 
positive (+) to the negative (

-

) or you will get a short

that would damage the battery and maybe other
parts, too. Also, don’t connect the negative (

-

) cable

to negative (

-

) terminal on the dead battery because

this can cause sparks.

7. Connect the red 

positive (+) cable to the
remote positive (+)
terminal of your vehicle.

8. Don’t let the other end

of the positive (+) cable
touch metal. Now,
connect the red +
terminal to the red
positive (+) terminal of
the other vehicle’s
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
