Blue Triangle Light in Instrument Cluster

Noticed a couple of times while driving in Comfort mode where the C is on the Instrument Cluster a blue triangle appears momentarily in its place. Looked in the owners manual, but couldn't anything. Anyone know what that blue triangle is telling me? Thanks in advance!

It's the vehicles sail function. If you are at a high enough speed and let off the gas pedal the car automaticaly goes into neutral to allow you to roll as far as possible for the best gas mileage.

Can it be disabled? I much prefer engine braking myself. My Porsche has it, but it's disabled with sport mode, which I always use. Curious on this car. Thx.

For me, i noticed that it only goes into "sail" mode when I have auto start stop on. I always turn that function off and sail never comes on.

Sounds like it’s ideal for Race mode and Race Start over and over.

Digitalnav is correct. The sail function only turns on when in comfort AND the engine start/stop is on.
