You jump start a Chevy Lumina just as you do any other car. First, you park the running car in such a way that the jumper cables will easily reach between the two batteries and turn the car off. Then, you attach the red cable to the + side of the running car's battery and then the other red cable to the dead battery's + side. Return to the car with the good battery and connect the black cable to the - side of the battery, then attach the black cable of the other side of the cable to a non-painted metal surface of the car with the dead battery. After the cables are attached as described, start the car with the good battery and let it run for a few minutes before starting the car with the dead battery. Once the car is started, you can disconnect the cables being careful not to let any of the red cable ends touch either one of the cars while they are running.
