    I have Prius 2011 US version. But currently I am in Europe. As I know already it is not possible to change mpg to litres..
    But one thing I would like to change - climate control. Now it shows in F, but I would like to see it in Celsius. What if I changed the control unit and placed it from european car.
    Like this one:

    Would it show in celsius?

    Thanks!

    It may or should be in the owners manual.

    It would make sense that a unit from a European vehicle would be in Celsius. You may want to contact seller to verify.

    I was referring to the conversion of C/F and mph/kph, being built into the Prius.

    There is a button on the dash to convert mph/kph.

    The 2010 and 2011 do not have the ability to convert the Climate Control Unit from F to C. There is a button on the dash to change between mph and kph but no F to C. That is the reason that the OP is asking about changing CC units.

    If that is the case I would get an agreement to purchase it with the right to return it if it is not in Celsius.
