With cold weather approaching, its important to make sure your car is ready and safe for travel.According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, 24 percent of weather-related crashes happen on snowy, slushy or icy pavement resulting in the deaths of over 1,300 people and over 116,800 injured each year. Annually, 15 percent of crashes happen during snowfall or sleet, resulting in nearly 900 deaths and 76,000 injuries.

Starting with the dead car, connect the red clamp to the postive terminal. Then, take the other red clamp and connect it to the working car’s positive post. Then, take the black clamp and connect it to the negative terminal on the working car. Take the last clamp and connect it to an unpainted piece of metal on the surface of the dead car.During the whole process of connecting cables, its important the cables don’t touch each other, according to Home Depot. Once everything is connected, it’s time to start the car. It’s important to jumpstart the car with a good battery, according to Toyota.After the car is jumped, take the cables off in the reverse order of how they were put on, according to Progressive.
