2010 rx350 eco zone light problem
Today I had my oil changed at my friendly local oil change place..I live 90 miles from nearest Lexus dealer..and when i was on the way home I noticed my ECO Zone light wasnt working.I know that when i was at the oil change place he reset the Maintenance Required message which shows up at various mileage intervals,so I wonder if somehow that also affected the ECO ZONE light. Im not that car savvy so I hope someone on this forum has had some experience with this type problem. I read the manual and it didnt say anything about how to turn the indicator on or off.My car only has 9000 miles on it so im sure the light probably didnt go out. Before I call my dealer and see how to fix this..Im sure it is some button, switch etc. I would appreciate any feedback anyone can provide on this. I really pay attention to the ECO ZONE indicator while driving so I need to get it fixed. Thanks so much.

Are you referring to the ECO light that comes on when you are driving economically, or are you referring to the ECO driving mode that you turn on to reduce gas consumption my limiting throttle/pedal application.
Try this PDF (Page 2 and 7)

So the eco light is configurable... OP try the procedure in the first link posted by RXSF. Hopefully that will fix your problem.
Also FYI the 350 does not have an eco "mode" that limits throttle or shifting only the 450h has this. The eco light/bar graph we have is simply shows the driver when they are diving in the most efficient manner to save gas.

Shutting off the ECO light
I've already been down this road with our new well crafted but somewhat user hostle RX350. The bad news is that while the owners manual leads you to believe that you turn off this vexing dumb light you really can't. The good news, however, is that the dealer can. Our dealer did it for me, and at the same time, using some double-secret method, reprogramed the ship's computer so that the rear cargo door now opens itself when you press the unlock button.

Jay is right. There is a second menu, but it can only be accessed when in Park, the same one referred to above by RXSF... Very simple actually...

Thanks for all the suggestions to my original post. I have been out of town and just saw them. I am referring to the green light which shows up in the instrument panel while I am driving ,not the bar graph which is accessible through the steering wheel indicator control.I tried to get the green light to go back on through the steering wheel indicator,but so far no luck. I will now review the various suggestionns in this thread and see if i can figure it out.
Appreciate the help. The Lexus forum has really saved my bacon on several occasions since i live about 90 miles from the nearest dealer.
