Based on my experience, the ECO on the EVIC display does indicate its in MDS mode. You can feel the fluttery lack of power while its displayed in my opinion.

Also, you can turn this indicator off in the settings FYI.

I don't have a EVIC, just the basic display. But I will also agree that when it says ECO ON that it is running in MDS as you can feel a difference.

The trucks without the EVIC state ECO when it your not in economy mode and ECO-On when in economy mode. My truck displays both.
