Sport drive mode troubleshooting
I'm new to Lexus and I'm confused with my F Sport drive modes. When I switch to Sport mode I notice that it still flashes Eco periodically on the display. I don't know how to confirm that the transmission is truly in Sport mode.
The manual wasn't of help.
Anyone have expertise in the various drive modes?

No, I don't play soccer!
On my 450h F-Sport, the outside color of the tachometer changes from blue to white. The mode is also displayed in the middle of it and temporarily displays on the nav screen.

Eco lamp indicator does NOT mean your driving in eco mode. All this means is that you are driving economically in ANY mode including sport and sport+. Theoretically you could still drive econmically in a V8 Corvette Stingray. If the stingray came equipped with that light indicator.
The more you step on the gas the less you will see that light, the less you step on gas the more you will see it. Other manufactuers do the same thing but instead of the word eco lighted up its the picture of a green leaf.

you can turn off this eco display in the display mode in your dash. But yes, all it does it says that you are driving economically haha. AKA slow under 2,000 RPMS.
I turned mine off. There is a guy who did a real life scenario with eco sport mode and found .5 difference in mpg.
