To learn how to correctly jump-start the 2017 Ford Escape, you should first gather the necessary tools like jumper cables and safety gear. Then, raise the hood to locate the battery on the driver's side beneath the plastic engine cover. After releasing the plastic tabs, identify the red positive terminal and a suitable unpainted ground. Connect the positive clamp to the positive terminal and the negative clamp to the negative terminal. Prior to charging, ensure that all lights and electronic devices are turned off.

Connect the red cable to the positive + battery terminal of both the vehicle being jumped and the vehicle providing the jump. Then, connect the negative - cable from the battery of the vehicle being jumped to the negative terminal of the vehicle giving the jump.

Here's my rephrased version:
"First, shut off both vehicles and pop open their hoods. Connect the jumper cables to the batteries correctly, then start the second vehicle followed by the Ford Escape. Let the Escape run for a few minutes before disconnecting the cables.
