    When I push the Eco mode button on my Prius C (2015) I get a message that says Eco mode is not available , excessive speed. This is when I am driving anytime--from 20 miles an hour in my town to 65 miles on the highway. What's up?Thanks so much-would like to avoid a trip to th dealer.

    I believe you’re pressing EV mode, not Eco mode. That’s why it isn’t available above 20mph.

    Yes.....AND.....I believe that this question should have been put in the C sub-forum, not here. :)
    The EV button in a C is pretty much useless.

    Easy mistake to make, the buttons are low and out of sight.
