    I'm a newbie and I do own a Prius but I have absolutely no idea what package I have. Since that was one of the questions I was supposed to answer when I registered, I figured I'd just ask here.

    BTW, I live in NC and I do enjoy my Prius.

    If you bought it knew, it will be listed on the sticker. If not you can find out through it's VIN#, either online or through a dealer. If used you could go online to Toyota.com or Edmunds.com and match up your features with the packages. Each PKG# includes everything from a lower numbered package plus whatever it adds. One thing, I notice you are in NC which is Southeast Toyota Region which offers a Leather Option which is non-factory leather. The reason that I mention this is that Pkg#6 adds factory leather. But leather may not mean Pkg#6. It could be a non-factory leather option and a lesser package. Oh! And the Touring model includes additional features as standard over the standard or basic models. Best way if you don't have the new car sticker or invoice, looking up by VIN# is next best choice.

    #2 Go outside the car and look at driver and passenger door handles does it have a black button you can push? yes go to step #3, no you have a package #1 STOP
    #3) on the steering wheel push the map button did it bring up the gps?
    YES - i have a package 5 (no leather seats) or package 6 (leather seats)
    NO - i have a button and pressed it and nothing happened or i got an error message i have a package #3,
    No - i have no buttons at all, you have a package #2 STOP
    #4) do you have fog lights on the front of the car?
