Use jumper cables to connect the positive battery terminal (red cap, + sign) of your Journey to the positive terminal of the car with the dead battery. Connect the negative terminal (black cap, - sign) of your battery to a solid metal non moving part of the car with the dead battery AWAY from the battery. When you make that final connection, there is frequently a spark- you do not want to make sparks near a battery- they give off hydrogen gas. After making connections, start your Journey, then start the car with the dead battery. Remove cables in the reverse order they were connected, do not let a positive and negative cable touch.
