Default Blue Hue
I noticed that the instrument panel on the dash above the speedometer has a blue hue that comes on and off. Does anyone know what that is for?

It is telling you you're getting better gas mileage when it is blue.

You can turn it off if not interested in knowing this.

I was just going to make a post asking how to keep the color up when in manual shifting mode. Is this even possible? Or is it only blue when in auto mode? I dont' care for Sport Mode, so I'm not even getting the red from that. This is a new ES loaner without navi. Scrolling through the car options doesn't show an adjust option. Ideas?

It is red when in Sport Mode, blue when in Eco Mode and when in Normal Mode, it is off but it will turn blue when you are getting good fuel economy.

What is it about sport mode you don't care for?

The OP is not referring to the ECO light.
