    Does anyone know of a diagram that shows the location of the various sensors on a 2017 Prius? (Lane departure, radar, ambient light, etc)

    @Tideland Prius our most prolific Moderator has posted on this previously. Perhaps he will be kind enough to link you to it, or repost. (y)

    They're all in the Owner's Manual - eg:

    The Radar is located behind the Toyota emblem on the Prius nose. If it gets too dirty, all of the safety features will shut down until you wipe the emblem with a damp rag and restart your Prius.

    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. . .? :p;):cool:

    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.
