How To Jump Start A Prius 2013. The 12v system is not designed to withstand the electrical load created when starting a normal car, and in addition, any accidental reversing of leads is going to leave you stranded with a several hundred dollar towing/repair fee Maybe it's because i'm a worrier at heart, but i really want to keep a jump starter in the trunk in case my wife ever has an emergency where one would come in handy.
I like that you can keep it plugged in to charge indefinitely without worry. Connect the other positive end to the positive battery terminal of the other vehicle. Getting the cables wrong will do $4000 worth of damage, with a start pack, you have half as many ends.
Just use the jump list below to move to your particular situation.
Locate the red cap with the plus sign and take it off to reveal the metal terminal. On page 477 it clearly indicates that the 12 volt battery is under the rear passenger seat and includes a diagram and verbiage on how to jump start the car. Open your hood and remove your engine cover. Press and hold the “start” button.
