    Heyo Priusoids - I was preparing for our first road trip in our 2010 Prius yesterday, and decided to check the spare tire pressure (it was about 30 lbs low btw). While I was in there, I noted that there's no duct connecting to the "exhaust" port from the traction battery. Does this duct exist for the Gen III? I can't seem to find any pics/videos/descriptions for the Gen III, they seem to all be from Gen II.
    Any comments on whether I should have this duct, how important this is, where it might have gone and how I might get a replacement?
    Thanks,

    Mine looks like that too. Seems to vent into the spare well, then exhaust through the louvers.

    My Spare lost 15 PSI in 3 months. I set it initially and checked it.
