The battery pack will probably have an On/Off switch.
The Insight has one under a metal cover plate held with just 2 bolts, one of which just has to be loosened as it slides under.
Flip that switch, then start the car: it should do so on the starter engine.
Flip it back and it should do the IMA start (instant run).
I've blown my auxiliary fuse once, turns out the IMA control electronics are part of that... Drove fine, but less zippy. The CVT was lazy to rev up; pulling away from a stop or a T junction is let's say a lot less fun without IMA support.
