Default 2015 is250 Eco Driving Indicator Light

Hi all,

I'm driving in Normal mode, and the Eco indicator light is very annoying me since I'm seating traffic a lot. I decided to turn it off.
My car is a base model.

Would that affect the driving/fuel performance?

Thanks.

No, it's just an "atta boy" light. Just gives you kudos for being light on the gas pedal. It serves no other function.

Ok, thanks.

Another question, according to the manual, the headlight suppose to turn off after 30 seconds after the engine is turn off, but mine is not turn off if I stay in the car.
It turn off if I exit the vehicle.

I, too, am curious about this but I feel that's how it's supposed to be. Anyone else care to chime in on this?

My headlights don't turn off until I open the door. I guess that's how it's supposed to work.

Some online users said that you can press the lock button twice on the key fob while in the car, and the light turn off.
But that defeats the purpose of auto turn-off feature, you know.
I wonder if there is another way.

Once I sat in my car before for like 20 minutes. I'd estimate that the headlights turned off after 5-10 minutes.
