The 2009s, should have the "Fuel Saver" message which is essentially ECO. It usually should light when efficiently driving. There has been notes that a change in fuel grade affects the sensitivity. I can't say that I have experienced that in my 2014.

Early build 2009s do not have the eco light, it was a mid year update. I believe any 2009 built before Dec 2008 does not have the light

I have an oct 2008 build date and mine doesn’t have the light. I do recall reading a while back that there is a flash to add it but I have not looked into it. Any info would be great. Thanks.

The engine is equipped with mds,,, but the light was a mid year option on the 2009s all 2010 up have the light.
My 2009 was a sept 2008 build and does not have the light but the engine has the mds

Like I said, I believe the dealer has a flash for it. I remember reading years ago about it but never looked into it.
