Every Prius carries a number of government and manufacturer labels found on the driver door jam and the engine compartment. Furthermore, Toyota provides an unambigious model for each vehicle so the right parts will be used with the correct model. Without it, an inattentive technician might attempt to apply a similar part from one model to another with potentially disasterous results.
