    I am wondering if the prius has any internal temperature sensors. I know you can set the desired temperature you want in the car, so how does the prius maintain this temperature?

    The sensor is located on the left front of the dash. It also checks humidity.

    You may not be able to see the interior temperature displayed, but if my wife is with me, I know that the temperature is either:

    1) Too hot,

    or

    2) Too cold. :D

    I've though about changing the thermostat to a toggle switch labeled with those two states. ;)
