How To Jump Start A Prius C. Connecting jumper cables connect positive (red) jumper cable to the jump start terminal. You will need an assisting vehicle and jumper cables.
Try to start your vehicle. I am able to jump start it (and why does this prius c not have the engine terminal for charging in the fuse box as shown in every toyota how to prius c jumpstart video???) and drove it around the neighborhood for about a half hour. I just cannot believe that the only way to jump a 2012 prius c is to open the hatch in the back seat and try to find the terminals that are extremely well hidden and hope you don't start the thing on fire in the process.
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.
Press and hold the “start” button. Open the hood and look under the fuse box cover. Open the hood and locate the fuse block cover. First connect red cable to the positive terminal of your prius’ dead battery, then to the positive terminal of donor battery.
