To jump-start a 2000 Mercedes S430 from under the hood, first, ensure both vehicles are turned off. Open the hood and locate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the engine compartment; the positive terminal is often marked with a red cover. Connect the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the working battery. Then, connect the black jumper cable to the negative terminal of the working battery and attach the other end to a grounded metal surface on the dead vehicle to avoid sparks near the battery. Start the working vehicle and then attempt to start the Mercedes.
