Eco / ECO Mode Indicator

OK to driveTypically Green on the dash

Economy mode is active, or you are currently driving efficiently. Informational only.

What it means

Depending on the car, this either confirms ECO drive mode is selected (softer throttle, earlier shifts, reduced A/C) or lights up as a real-time 'you are driving efficiently' coaching signal.

Can you keep driving?

Yes — purely informational.

What to do now

  1. 1

    Nothing required. Expect slower throttle response while ECO mode is on.

  2. 2

    Switch out of ECO mode if you need full power (merging, towing, hills).

Likely causes

  • ECO mode selected
  • Efficient driving detected

Typical fix cost

$0
