The Blind Spot and Cross Traffic radars are located in the rear quarter panels in the area between the rar wheels and tail lights. Just keep the exterior surface of the panels clean.

 

Hmmmm, buffing the Toyota emblem in public, THAT'S not going to do anything to dispel the widely held perception that Prius owners are a bunch of brainwashed, Toyota-worshipping geeks, now, is it. . .?

 

And DO NOT lose that Prius emblem on the nose of a Prius with the sonar with the cruise control. The cost of replacing it is pushing $600. The little plastic emblem itself is around $450 and the bumper has to come off to replace so it is $120 in labor at the dealer.
What can possibly be in that small piece of plastic to make it cost that much????

 

It's a very special plastic, exactingly manufactured with a very, very high profit content.
