The statement "When you jump start a vehicle, if the stalled vehicle started, then you remove the cables in the same order in which they were connected", is false.

Go through these steps before you even connect the cables:

1. Both batteries should have the same polarity and same voltage.

2. Never let the vehicles touch each other and your cars should be near enough to connect the cables.

3. Turn off the lights, accessories, and ignition switch in both cars. Put the vehicles in neutral mode and make sure the parking brake is set. Also wear safety glasses.

4. Never smoke. An explosion is possible if sparks and ear a battery.

5. Don’t try to it the battery if the weak battery is frozen because it can explode.

6. Be sure to be able to identify the positive and negative terminals of both batteries. You need to have enough room to clamp to the cable terminals.
