Default Dumb button placement, good catch

I've questioned why the 'ECO' switch is down to the left, by the fuel door release button. Others have lamented the fact that many buttons are not illuminated. Some have wondered why 'ECO' mode seems to develop a mind of its own and turn off.' Put the three together, and this is what you get: Last night, I noticed the 'ECO' mode was off, reached down to turn it on, couldn't tell which button was 'ECO' and which was the fuel door, took a chance and pressed a button. Nothing happened. So I pressed the other and the 'ECO' mode came back on.

Here's the good news: the accidental press of the fuel door button didn't activate since (I think) the car was moving. Good catch by some engineer.
