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.

• But first, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then continue on below.
• Otherwise return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The green leaf background in the first symbol is reflective of economical driving. The letters ECO are seen in all three symbols, representing economical. The second image in black and white features the same letters but placed inside a broken circle with an arrow meant to indicate a running condition.

This version is a Conserve Mode indicator used by an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer. It denotes the use of a drive mode intended to conserve battery power that is chosen by the driver. It is seen in green.

And for completeness, Lincoln calls the third image above Conserve Mode as well, but in a hybrid vehicle. The mode decreases accelerator pedal responsiveness to soften driver inputs and “encourage” efficient driving.
