Driving today I thought id try the ECO mode on the terrain response. Apart from turning off the heated seats, steering wheel, screens, and reducing the aircon to a mild breeze, the only other thing I noticed was a strange green symbol showing a foot on a peddle, sometimes solid green, others just an outline, sometimes not there at all.
It appears above the lane departure symbol to the left lower corner of the speedometer. Cannot find any references to it in any documents. What does it mean? 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged. |

No definitely not that. Iâm not sure how to make it appear, it seems to be after so long at a constant speed. If I press the accelerator it goes solid green, if I lift off it goes green outline. If I plant the accelerator it disappears, if I touch the brake it disappears.
I was wondering if it was something to do with the mild hybrid system, but there is no description in the guide. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged. |

Actually Iâm just thinking maybe ECO is the mode you need to be in for the electric battery to drive without the engine starting at low speed? |

The only symbol that I remember pops up just above the Lane Departure icon in my instrument cluster (virtual display in one-gauge mode) is the "Follow Mode" of the ACC, which turns green when it's active, off when not active - meaning no cars in front of me for ACC to track and follow - or white if I turn off Adaptive Cruise Control. That would be symbol # 4 below, and looks nothing like what you described obviously.
Any of these symbols look familiar?  Click image to enlarge 2020 NAS Defender 110 HSE 5-seater / Silver / Khaki / Black Pack / Black Roof / Satin Film / Cold Pack / Off-Road Pack / Advanced OR Pack / Comfort + Convenience Pack / Sirius + HD radio / HUD / Meridian Surround |

The three icons on the top shows how efficient and economical you are with the Accelerator pedal, Brakes and speed and will help you maximize fuel economy. So if you stepped on the gas pedal you will see it go 1 bar or 2 bar and red which means you aren't trying to be economical, if you take it easy with it it will show up as green and means you are trying to be economical. Hope this made sense 2014 Defender LXV 2023 Defender 90 HSE |

No, itâs none of those symbols Umbertob. Simon, it appears in the area above the temp display in your picture.
Iâll set up a GoPro on the dash today, I have a trip for work so will record whatâs happening. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged. |

This is the nearest I can find on the internet. This is from a list of Audi symbols. It shows that a situation has been detected ahead that requires a lower speed.

I think Iâve worked it out. I reckon this is the elusive âMild Hybrid in operationâ indicator.
If you drive at a constant speed, any speed because it doesnât seem to be related to the speed limit detected, this symbol will appear. To keep the symbol on solid green you have to use the lightest of accelerator pedal press. Press too hard it disappears. Lift of and coast, it goes outline green, lightly press the accelerator it goes solid green again. Brake it disappears. If you stop at traffic lights for example, the engine shuts off as normal. It takes a mile or so before it will come back on again, I guess this is recharging the 48v battery? It only works in ECO mode. Hereâs some pictures of the icon taken by my passenger.

Do you have to have Lane Keep Assist on as well as it it looks like that is activated from the icon below the lead foot icon?
