    I've had mine for 3 weeks and love it. Figured out the location of everything except the hybrid battery. Perhaps this is elementary, but where is it, and can it be seen? just curiousity...I have no need or desire to fool with it. I understand the signifigance of the clad orange cables.

    It sounds like your dealer didn't do a very good job of explaining the car to you at delivery. Mine showed me when I picked my car up. It's in the back of the car behind the back seats. Open the hatch, remove the folding floor panel and the black storage tub to reveal the spare tire. If you look forward, you should be able to see a large silver box the spans the width of the car.

    The INFO-SHEET was created for the very purpose of answering questions just like yours, an introduction to Prius.

    On the back is a photo of the battery-pack as it appears in the car.
