    • Once your leads are connected, you can lower the hood (Don't slam it down) so that the cables do not get damaged.

    • Leave your car to charge for at least 3 hours, or even overnight! keep in mind that if you only charge it for 2 or 3 hours, you will need to drive it around (or just leave the engine running) for another hour so that the engine will finish the charge.

VERY clear instructions on charging my wife’s 2009 Prius. Not rocket science, BUT I didn’t know where the terminals were, or if there were any special precautions with a hybrid. Thanks!
