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 back 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.

Do not confuse this symbol with other indicators using the abbreviation ECO and coupled with the word Mode. The use of the word Mode denotes that control of some of the drive systems has been chosen. Click here for more.

Our primary picture symbols page has been completely transformed
Primary picture symbols page
We just completed the transformation of our primary picture symbols page. It now moves through picture symbols by color, red, yellow/amber/orange (depending on how a driver sees the color), on to green and blue and finally black and white and gray scale indicators.
We kept three other sub-groups on the page as well, including hybrid and electric vehicle indicators, diesel-powered vehicle symbols, and a segment on information displays and message centers. This last one is where the black and white and gray scale indicators now appear.
As we noted in a previous post, our main page, which hosts all the images that are not text, had become a difficult mess to get through and was organized by technology categories. However, this assumes a driver even knows what tech category the mystery light he or she is searching for belongs to!
This is a massive oversite on our part.
We are thus committed to re-ordering everything on the site by color. It will be a long slog, as there are about 50 pages that will need the work. But the work will get done, and we sincerely hope that it simplifies your experience.
Cars are changing, and among those changes is the growing number of symbols and indicators that will invariably show up on your dashboard or instrument panel. Every year, new features are added to vehicles, each of which is accompanied by a new symbol or symbols and likely a new acronym.
At DashboardSymbols.com, our aim is to help you understand what is happening to your vehicle at the first sign of trouble – a new warning light illuminated on your instrument panel. Its all here on this website. Our first intention is to bring the latest technologies down to earth and understandable for everyday drivers.
The primary picture symbols page is found here.
And know that we still recommend searching by manufacturer here.
