your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
Warning
Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving
parts once the engine is running.
5. Check that the jumper cables
do not have loose or missing
insulation. If they do, you could
get a shock. The vehicles
could be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables,
here are some basic things you
should know. Positive (+) will
go to positive (+) or to a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one. Negative ( )
will go to a heavy, unpainted
metal engine part or to a
remote negative ( ) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
Do not connect positive (+) to
negative ( ) or you will get a
short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts
too. And do not connect the
negative ( ) cable to the
negative ( ) terminal on the
dead battery because this can
cause sparks.
Vehicle Care
6. Connect the red positive (+)
cable to the positive (+)

positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
8. Connect the black negative ( )
cable to the negative ( )
terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative ( )
terminal if the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step.
