Will emergency roadside assistance help me jumpstart a Prius?

Do I need to request special equipment to jumpstart a Prius? Since it's a hybrid vehicle, I'm not sure if it will be the same process.

“As a hybrid, a Prius will have two batteries, a 12-volt battery and a lithium-ion battery. The 12-volt battery is just like the battery in vehicles with conventional gas engines and can be used to jumpstart the car.
If you have Roadside Assistance coverage through
AAA
, you should be able to call and have your car serviced according to their policies.”
