Economy Operation Indicators

Economy Operation

These are Economy Operation Indicator symbols. With the push to improve fuel mileage, vehicles from many manufacturers will tell you when you are operating your vehicle economically and even aide in the effort. There may be a gauge of sorts also shown in the information screen. Step hard on the accelerator to pass another vehicle, for example, and this light will go out.
