    on the liftback, there's a button on the dash to the lower right of the steering wheel with interior light switch, gas door button etc., and i'm always bumping it. maybe c is similar? manual should show it in the beginning with the description of gauges and controls.

    You know how you can cycle through your trips, like where says "TRIP A," "TRIP B," and then "ODO" for Odometer? There's a "TRIP" button on your steering wheel.
    With the car on, press the "TRIP" button to cycle around to "ODO" - make sure it says "ODO" on the screen before continuing.
    - Then hold the "TRIP" button. This switches to/from metric.

    - This won't work if the screen still says "TRIP A" or "TRIP B" - you'll reset your trip info if you do this and you'll have to start over.

    Yeah for the other Prius owners, the Prius c doesn't have a dedicated km/h-mph button like the rest of the Prius line up has. I think it's through the black "button" that cycles through odo and trip odo like what Skylis says.

    On the c it's a steering wheel button.

    The clock setting procedure is also clearly totally different (using an appropriate sequence of using the DISP and TRIP buttons in conjunction with the Multi-information display.

    Sometimes the c is totally different from a liftback. ;)

    Also note the mph to km/h feature doesn't exist in all markets (eg. the Australian c stays steadfastly metric, as it should (y) )

    Yours can switch to metric, so you have no problems if you want to drive to Australia. Clearly no-one would ever go the other way. :p

    There was a time when Google Maps would give you directions (by, at some point, telling you to swim or kayak across the Pacific Ocean). I assume the laywers put paid to that. :rolleyes:
