Er...uh....what? I thought maybe I had misread my Owners Manual and so I did as you asked on my 50 mile commute home. The Vue Charged when it was supposed to Charge, Assisted when it was supposed to Assist and Auto Stopped when it was supposed to AutoStop and got 31.8mpg running the AC in Econo mode. Please refer to pages 163 and 183 of your Owners Manual. It clearly states that the EcoOn/EcoOff on the Trip meter is for the light only. There is no way to turn off your hybrid system and if there was it would be a much more substantial switch than a dinky toggle on the trip meter. If yours is not doing those things, get to the dealer!! Good luck with that Vue
