Default How do I jump start a 2003 Prius?

Went out to the car this morning and it was completely dead, even the power locks aren't working. I've searched the web a bit, and I think jump starting it is the best place to start. The batter, however, doesn't have any indicators of where to place the jumper cables. Does anyone know how to do this in the older model?

Open trunk with key.

Battery is on the driver's side.

Attach jumper cables to battery. Technically, you're supposed to attach the negative to the frame/body/ground, but I don't bother.

MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOU DON'T HOOK THE JUMPER CABLES BACKWARDS!
