Default Green ECO light question

Is there any way to turn off the green ECO light located in the speedometer area? Very annoying especially at night.

Hold the menu button beside the thumb switch on the steering wheel down for a few seconds, use the scroll thumb switch to get to the eco option, press the thumb switch forward, set to "off".

It bothered me a little bit in the beginning. But, after a few days, it has changed my rhythm on how to drive this vehicle.

MPG sucks so far. It's about 13-15 MPG (16-18L/100KM) in stop-go traffic in Manhattan. Not too surprised though.




Well, I probably will ignore it or shut it off once passing the break-in period. I miss the big-foot style.
