With winter and the batteries do not have a car or truck the starter is now a good time to learn again how everyone how to turn your car with jumper cables.

Thebe able to start your car quickly and safely, without damage to the electrical system - can only be a good skill to have, maybe. It is a good time as any to do it well.
Fist things first. Make sure the two vehicles do not affect in any way on their bumper. It 'true that most cars are now covered in plastic bumpers and plastic, you can never be safe or prudent. Next, make it a point to always have fixed the two ends - the ends of the bridge red and blackCable set aside and not touch. Otherwise, electric shock or cause short circuits.
Now that you ensure that the vehicles do not affect in any way and touch the two ends of each cable bridge is not as good and safe apart, lift the hood. Locate the battery. It is usually in front of the engine room, in front of the engine and the front left or right.
Locate the battery terminals - usually at the top or at worst, on topBattery side or both sides of the battery - usually on the edge of the rear cover on the left and right side.
The main link between the two is almost always the positive battery terminal (marked with a plus sign that "positive" (+) is). This is what gives the red wire jumper instead of pine. The other is the negative power supply. It is usually marked with black ink on both ends or plastic coverings for insulated pipes. The positive pole, aPiece of plastic electrical insulator as a cover on it. You may need to pry too cold. Plastic cold winter to 40 degrees below zero can be pretty hard, yet flexible, in the heat of summer. Pay attention to the maximum. If you are a metal screw cap to the positive terminal and completes a circuit with a screwdriver to the metal object on the ground, the use of cars, you can get a nice spark and a good shot to boot.
When it comes to discussions on the promotion of self, there is no end to theDiscussion when the cars running or not. This is personal preference. The most important thing is that the final connection to the black (ground) should be on the empty car battery, no battery charge. This connection can be established on a metal part, or to be negative (-) battery. If you can get to the heart of the battery lead, especially a spark at the battery terminals, which allows gas to hydrogen sulfide which linger around and light loadcharging batteries. A serious explosion of the battery with its sulfuric acid into your face can result risking injury to yourself and even blindness.

Finally to stress the final connection goes to the dead car's battery terminals or frame never to the vehicle with the good charged battery. Have a safe and enjoyable winter time driving season this year.
