has anyone had a grey / green footpedal icon come up on their display? just below the speed indicator (12.3 inch display)

I cannot work out what it is for

I suppose I could try reading the manual, but I'm 62 and have never bothered with them up to now so... :)

I was told it is a brake pedal, to indicate when you exceed the speed limit.

Is the symbol only specific to automatic Pumas? I have never seen this in my manual car.

👍 Presume this means lift and coast rather than getting straight on the footbrake.

i get that - and wondered if it might be, but i would have thought it might be red to warn me? and i generally exceed the 70 on motorways by just a couple of miles an hour and it doesnt come on...

i wondered that but pretty sure my foot wasnt on the accelerator - although i may have been adjusting the adaptive cruise control and i wonder if it was suggesting that was heavy on the acceleration perhaps?

yes i wondered that too, as i'm fairly sure my feet were not on any pedals when it came and went, but i may have been adjusting the adaptive cruise control

WHAT IS EFFICIENT DRIVE MODE

Efficient drive mode is a predictive coach that provides near real-time route information to help you drive more efficiently by releasing the accelerator pedal.
The display ring can provide information about speed limit, freeway ramp, slope, curve, crosswalk and so forth.
