The gas engine is the same as an ordinary engine,be shure to remove the key out of the ignition,then connect the positive lead first to both cars and last the negative lead[dont let the leads touch.Fit your ignition key and start as normal,when it starts remove the negative lead first and then last of all the positive lead.To be honest give the battery a good charge once every 2 months as an alternator will never fully charge a battery...

your owners manual should show all of the symbols and what they mean.I tried to get one to look at it but no luck...they should be in the manual though
SOURCE: Toyota Prius starting problem
There's a known problem with the early Toyota Prius (2001 - 2003), when running the engine for a long period of time without moving or when the car is driven only for short trips (short city driving), the Prius might not start.
You have to change the original battery with a 356 CCA which is bigger because the battery is bigger you also have to change what is holding it into place.

SOURCE: Toyota Prius jumps from Drive to Neutral while
We had the same issue in our 2008 prius happen last week. Car slipped out of drive after initial 1-second acceleration three times in a row. Powered the car off and on in between incidents. Toyota shop has not been able to re-create after 100 miles of driving over the last few days. They replaced the shift lever and battery (the potential culprits based on scant research), but no one seems 100% confident about it. According to the Toyota shop, the advice given by oneStan above isn't applicable because "the Prius actually has a transaxle that does not have cables or linkage, it has an electronic shifter. Mounts such as engine or transmission very seldom wear out before 150k miles." We are supposed to pick car up tomorrow but feeling anxious about driving our toddlers around in it after what happened. Would very much appreciate any advice. Thank you.
