The red jumper cable attaches to the positive end of the battery. Make sure both cars are turned off before attempting to connect the cables and do not touch the metal portions of the cables together or to any part of the car except for the proper battery terminal.
You'll first attach the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Then attach the other end of the red cable to the positive terminal of the working battery.
Then attach the black cable to the negative terminal of the good battery, and finally attach the other end of the black cable to the negative terminal on the dead battery.
Make sure everyone is clear of the engine and moving parts before starting the engine of the good car. Allow it to run for a couple of minutes, revving the engine slightly. Then start the engine of the dead car.
Be sure to remove the cables in the reverse order of the way you put them on - negative first, then positive.
