Moved to the MkIII section.

 

it just basically fills in the pedals based on your acceleration and braking habits. Not really anything to enable. If you drive like a granny then ecomode is active

 

It's always "on". The pedals show how well you are driving to achieve maximum MPG. I guess you could say that shifting into "S" mode would be like disabling the Eco mode on other cars, since it changes the shift points and down shifts gears for you.

 

It's more of a eco monitor than a mode. The car watches your driving pattern and shows you if you are being efficient. You can get to the pedal screen by pressing right on the pad while you are on the average mileage screen.

 

I don't even see the petals light up when watching them.

 

It takes time and good driving habits to get the petals. It's not instant.

 

You'll probably never see any petals if you drive only 2 miles for the most part. Also expect a "50% cold trips" message to pop up if it's cold out and you rarely let the car fully warm up. It appears when at least 50% of your trips have not fully warmed the engine.

You might see the speed petals if you keep it under 65 mph, but the acceleration ones will likely never fill.

Not that it really matters...they have zero bearing on your actual fuel economy.

 

Do the petals require a certain package/engine combination?

 

No, it's all in how you drive.

 

Is this feature on 2012 titaniums?

 

Yeah, any 2012+ Focus besides the S with the monochrome IPC.

 

its under the settings on your monitor in the bezel

 

if you want close to "real data" I sometimes use "test" mode while driving. press and hold left "ok" button when starting car ( to exit test mode you have to restart car) test will show in display use left up or down arrows to scroll thru menu until you get to eco mode screen then use left side right or left arrows to change between modes (anticipation, speed, shifting (n/a will show if you have auto) and cold starts ) the closer to 5.00 the more efficiently your driving

 

The main function of the "eco mode" or button some cars have just "deadens" the response of the drive by wire throttle pedal so that you have to push it harder to get the same acceleration. You could just be very soft of the accelerator for the same effect.
