How do you jump start a Toyota Camry hybrid?

I just bought a Toyota Camry Hybrid. It's my first Hybrid and I want to be prepared in case of any emergencies. How would I jump start it?

It’s better to be prepared,
jump starting
is an important skill! Before you get started, you’ll need:
  • Red and black jumper cables
  • A second car
Now that you have the supplies, here are the steps to jumpstart your Camry:
  • Start by opening the hood.
  • Next, open the fuse box.
  • There, you’ll see a red terminal cover. Open it.
  • Connect a red jumper cable to the Toyota terminal.
  • Now, connect the red and black jumper cables to the second vehicle.
  • Lastly, take the black jumper cable and connect it to any unpainted metal surface in your Toyota.
  • Once the cables are connected, start the engine of the second vehicle.
  • Let it run for five minutes.
  • Start your Toyota.
  • Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of how you put them on (so it would be black, red/black, red this time).
Another helpful thing to have is roadside assistance. Even if you know how to jump start a car, it never hurts to have a backup plan! With
