Can Hybrid Cars Jump Start Another Car. RAY: Just to be sure, we checked with Toyota, which sells more hybrid vehicles than any other manufacturer, and it said that there are no restrictions against using the Prius, for example, to jump-start another car. Jump-starting any car is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.
Here is what I did to help some people. Doing so can put the electronics in danger and potentially cause serious damage. Hybrids add extra anxiety to the procedure.
I say there should be a warning label to that end on the terminal itself to warn those (most owners) who never read the manual.
Another reason might be that the damage when incorrectly connecting jumper cables is probably more expensive on hybrid cars than non-hybrid cars.
They can still break down, run out of juice and leave you stranded. If you don't follow certain safety steps, it will be dangerous to jump start a car battery. In order to properly jump-start a car you will need to create a circuit that carries the current from the live battery over to the dead one.
