Eco and Sport Mode but No Button

I have a 2022 Accent. The RPM cluster shows Eco, Sport, and a couple of other lights, but I can’t find a button for Eco or Sport mode.

I’m not sure about the Accent, but it’s common for car makers to use the same gauge clusters across different models. There might be a higher trim that has those modes, or it could be from another model that shares the same cluster.

Exactly. I have a 2024 Mazda 3 Turbo and it shows warning lights for things like diesel regen and glow plugs, even though mine doesn’t have those features. This happens across different brands too.

My gas Fiesta has a spot on the cluster for glow plugs too!

Yep, a friend’s Ranger had a 4x4 light visible, but it was a 2WD. No need to make five different clusters when one will do.

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

My Focus has a lot of lights on the dash that aren’t used. For example, it shows auto stop/start, but since mine is a manual, it doesn’t really apply.

If there’s no button, check your infotainment settings for a Drive Mode option. You might also want to look at your owner’s manual.

You mean people actually have to read those to know what the buttons do?

I know it sounds old-fashioned, but a lot of people with new cars probably never look at the manual. It’s probably lost in the trunk somewhere.

That’s exactly what a manual is for.

Your tires might be flat.

Yeah, what are you taking a picture of? Looks like you have a flat.

Hey, my enjei kojins don’t have TPMS sensors and I see this light too.

This fake tire warning is everywhere. If I had a nickel for every time, I could pay off my car.

Welcome to cost saving. Usually, every car maker makes a standard gauge cluster for all models, regardless of features.

Isn’t the Accent always on Eco mode? At least you have one of them.

Is there a button labeled Drive Mode on the center console near the gear selector?

I was going to say the same. It took me a year or two to figure it out in my first Elantra. You can also shift with the joystick if it’s an iVT for sport mode.

This is where they are in my '17 Tucson.
