Yes. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for the correct procedure or ask someone at the dealer’s service department.

Spend 25.00 to 50.00 dollars and have a professional road side service jump start any vehicle , hybrid or otherwise. Why take a chance on doing hundreds of electrical damage to your vehicle or someone’s else . Forums like this constantly get posts saying I jumped my car now it has many problems.
