    If you didn't get an owner's manual with it, get one now.

    For maximum gas mileage, don't exceed the speed limits and drive like Granny......when there is nobody behind you who is impatient. ;)

    G'day,
    Having done a shortish drive heading north yesterday afternoon into the winter sun, I would suggest a useful addition for a driver of a recent Prius c could be a pair of polaroid sun-glasses.

    The three different materials used on my 2016 'c' dash are quite reflective so there's glare on the windscreen as well as off the top of the dash.
    'Luckily' this glare is polarised horizontally so sun-glasses with normal polaroid lenses take this glare away very effectively.
    I'm not sure if two pairs are needed - one with darker lenses for summer, one less dark pair for winter.

    Maybe your 2015 c is less affected by this glare problem, but just in case it is........

    I haven't noticed much of a glare problem but then again I am used to 300+ days of sunshine.
