Before you jump a battery, Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an unintended electrical contact.
1) Park the vehicles within booster cable reach, but without letting the vehicles touch. Set the parking brake on each vehicle and place the automatic transmission in park, manual transmission in neutral and turn the ignition off on both vehicles.
2) Turn off all the accessories on each vehicle (heater, A/C, radio, etc.). Connect the red (positive) end of one end of the jumper/booster cable to the dead battery, and the other red (positive) end to the booster battery (good battery).
3) Connect the other negative (black) cable to the negative terminal of the good battery. Connect the other end of the same cable to the engine of the vehicle being jump started. It should be connected to a metal part of the engine away from rotating components.
4) Start the vehicle which has the booster battery (good battery). Let the engine idle for a few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
5) When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above sequence exactly. Use caution around rotating or hot engine components.
