Battery question - jump starting and hooking up new accesories - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm assuming the Yaris HSD is the same as our Prius c in terms of layout (we don't get the Yaris HSD here, and I'm sure you guys don't get the Prius c). There should be a positive lead under the fuse box under the hood. Flip the red cover over to expose it once you have found it. Attach the positive from the jumper there, and the negative to the chassis. Then jump start.

The traction (hybrid) battery cannot jump start the car, and cannot power the car if you run out of gas.

As for accessories, it's best to route that to the battery itself.
