These are ECO Coach Indicator symbols. The are displayed as a means of coaching the driver to operate the vehicle more economically. The feature automatically activates when the ECO driving program or mode is selected. The first image shows the foot or shoe pressed on the accelerator and the second, the not pressed symbol, shows the foot or removed from the pedal. The arrow remains pointing up regardless.

The ECO coach feature predicts the road ahead and advises when it is possible to lift off of the accelerator pedal in order to save fuel. The feature displays icons in the instrument panel to advise the driver of situations ahead that may allow the accelerator pedal to be released. The icons show a speed limit change, an upcoming downhill gradient, a junction or crossroads, a traffic island, and right or left bends in the road. The ECO coach pedal not pressed lamp illuminates green to advise the driver when it is possible to lift off of the accelerator pedal.
