I don't know. I'll ask the mobile tech next week ... I scheduled him to do the SSM 53561 update.

Let’s us know please what they say. Thanks

Drove wife’s Nautilus yesterday and do not notice any light.

Tech reports, "I believe the "Conserve" drive mode should change color based on current efficiency/throttle position." However, my icon remained fire orange during our trip even when idling in electric drive mode. I'll ask the mobile technician to check it out this Wednesday.

I don't believe it does change color while driving. But regardless, idling (stopped) is the worst possible fuel economy whether in gas or electric mode (you could argue stopped in 'electric' mode is undefined).

Old analog fuel economy gauges would show max fuel economy while idling. This was false. That was minimum fuel consumption, not max mpg.

My icon is grey 100% of the time. Do you all think I need to ask the service e tech to check it out?

No. I don't believe ours changes color, per sé. However, I think it might change when we change the background theme. I was going to try it sometime this week.

Just FYI, on our short drive today I played with the theme settings to see how they influenced the conserve mode icon. It's my opinion they change based on theme, but don't change color once set. This is what I saw for the four themes (sorry the one photo is blurry).



Note that since they're theme-colored, I realized it's possible they could change color when the speedometer hash moves to the right past the leaf. The background color would change. It was pretty bright today and was hard to see it while driving. Probably not.

As @swindler reported, the theme selection does change the (my) color of the "Conserve"driving mode icon. Why the Lincoln software engineers elected to do so is to me somewhat baffling.
