Jump starting a Toyota hybrid the right way

Don't mess this up. It isn't complicated but I'm always surprised at how often I see this done wrong.

This is a brilliant video! Thank you so much for making it. You taught me some very important information about my new hybrid Corolla.
I won't be carrying my old jumper cables with me any more. I'll just stick to carrying my battery pack jump starter.

Steve I just wanted to let you know what a valuable wealth of information you are providing to new hybrid owners like myself. I just got a Venza and some of the easiest things can take me hours to figure out. Keep up the good work.

Hey Steve, I haul cars for living the exotic ones. This car you just described in your video I needed that video so badly. This dead vehicle I couldn’t get it moved of course cause the battery was dead, and I didn’t know how to jump it. Your video helped me just now tremendously! Thank you so very much!!

My sister drives a hybrid. As a grease monkey I like to stay away fromt them. But it turns out her battery is dead. This is all very useful information. Thank you & Godbless

On the RAV4 there is a specific metal piece more towards the opposite side of the engine from the fuse box for the negative cable to be attached. It is better to keep the cables further apart to be sure you don't accidentally damage the computer in the car.

This was very helpful. I needed to help jump someone, and couldn't figure how the hell to do that.

Thank you so much for this video! Worked like a charm on my 2020 Highlander Hybrid Limited.

This happened to me after COVID and Lock Down you could not drive. My Toyota hybrid would not start getting a jump start did work but quickly died as the engine would switch off. after start I had to switch on the AC so the engine would keep running and then a good 7 mile journey fix the problem.

I have a friend that had a new Toyota hybrid. After a month, it wouldn’t start up. The only ones in town that knew what to do with it was the Jeep dealer! I was so surprised a new Toyota wouldn’t start.

Two key points to remember… if it’s a smart key car you have to have the remote right next to the start button when starting the car (not just anywhere in the car). Second, I’m pretty sure you have to wait for the engine to cycle before disconnecting the leads or the vehicles goes dead again. I usually press the accelerator to stimulate the engine to come on.

Could you place the trickle charge here for storage? Prolly need to charge batter directly in back. Hopefully can pop the hatch window w/out leaving lights on?!

Good info. When you list hybrids in your videos, you always neglect the Venza…. Such a shame as it is an incredible vehicle.

Hi just bought a Toyota CHR GR . In the uk . The battery is in the boot . Would it be alright to jump it off from that battery. Should I ever need to jump it off
Many thanks

i face no such issues or inconvinences with my Hyundai Ioniq hybrid...i just press a recharge button inside my car after i manunally open the car door with a key and jump start the car...

[kennethchan]

Hyundai Ioniq only needs a button inside to jumpstart...

can a conventional jump start a hybrid?

are the jumper cables to charge a hybrid different from a conventional jumper cable since the positive terminal in the fuse box look different from a 12 volt battery?

[bogdanovicmatija]

I'm curious about using portable jump-starting battery packs. Can they be effectively used to bring a hybrid vehicle to the 'Ready' state? Thanks for any insights!

On my toyota hybrid chr icon I can see that positive part but I'm worried as this all looks plastic ?
