    Hi all

    I just get my Prius 11 off the lot. The seller man told me that if the aux. battery dead I have to crawl into the trunk to jumpstart :confused:. Anybody has an alternative way to jumpstart? I know German vehicle has a positive and negative in the hood..... Please share... Thanks

    Welcome aboard! Yes the prius also has a jump point under the hood. It is located in the fuse box on the right hand side of the engine compartment. Read the manual.
