Exactly what does "Eco Mode" do?

my dealer did not mention the Eco mode when my bike was picked up...if I remember correctly I have to press the Eco mode & depress the brake to start my RT spyder..
I have to ask ... pressing the Eco mode again turns it off ??

Just hold the eco mode button in a few seconds to turn it on and off..

Here is what I found out trying the ECO mode on my 2014 RT-S SM6.
The green arrow seems to pop up when you get past 3,000 rpm (or thereabouts).
Manual ECO mode equivalent: Keep the RPM as low as possible all the time.

I found it essentially worthless, and after experimenting with it for a weekend, I turned it off.
The arrow is too distracting.

I rode a 2014 RT limited for the weekend . I used the ECO MODE for the whole weekend . I was finding that I was constantly shifting and the RPM range was about 2200 to 2700RPM. I rode the spyder two up and conservatively not mashing the gas and brakes and I only got a little better fuel economy than the rest of the spyders not using ECO MODE. We rode a total of 1500 miles with a mix of highway and paved back road riding. JMHO

I'm a pretty conservative rider, and I found no fuel economy advantage in using the ECO Mode...
And trying to find the Green Light, was taking my eyes off of the road... :yikes:
