How do I jumpstart a Toyota Auris Hybrid?

I think the battery might be dead in my car. I’ve read hybrid batteries can cost thousands of dollars, so I’m hoping that maybe I can jumpstart it. How can I jumpstart my Toyota Auris Hybrid?

Hybrid batteries can cost upwards of $3,000, so trying to jumpstart your vehicle is probably the best idea. To jumpstart a
Toyota
Auris Hybrid, follow these instructions:
  • Pop the hood.
  • Use your owner’s manual to locate the fuse box on the right side of the engine compartment.
  • Open the red terminal cover.
  • Connect the red jumper cable to the terminal.
  • Connect the jumper cables to a second car or a jumper.
  • Connect the black jumper cable to a metal part of your vehicle to ground it.
  • Start the engine of the second car and let it run for five minutes.
  • Fire up your engine.
  • Remove the jumper cables, close the fuse box, and close the hood.
  • Drive around for about 15 minutes to charge your battery.
Note that the likelihood of jumpstarting your car isn’t great. You usually have to replace the battery, so check to see if it’s still under warranty.
For peace of mind, you may want to add
towing and labor coverage
or roadside assistance to your car insurance policy. The best way to do this is by shopping rates on the
