Best Answer

In order to jump start a vehicle one will require jumper cables. The cables are then attached with the red cable being clamped onto the positive terminal of the car with the dead battery and the car that is providing the boost. The black clamp is placed on the negative terminal of the car that is boosting and the other end is connected to any unpainted metal surface in the engine compartment of the dead car. The car providing the boost is then started and once the boosting car is started one can start the vehicle needing the boost. Leave the vehicle running and disconnect the cables.

To me I think Jump start is better because unlike club penguin, you get to jump in jump start as high as you can, there is a fun game math blaster in jump start, and when you membership, you get to make a mutt in math blaster and when you buy a vehicle, you get to choose your vehicle, but the vehicle I like most is the dragon because you get to fly as high as you can!!

Jump start it from another vehicle or charge the battery. If the battery is bad, replace it. If you jump start it and the battery is dead you will have to wait about 15 minutes with the jump car running and connected to the dead battery, in order to build the battery up enough for it to actually take a jump.
