Are there any tricks to get the ECO mode to work
The other thing is it seems to start coming on more and more after the first oil and second oil change after the engine breaks in a bit more. Mine started appearing much more after 7,000 miles and also when the temperature got warmer.

This.Get up to speed; then back off the pedal slowly to maintain the speed. Once you are up to speed, it takes very little pedal to maintain it (providing you are not loaded). I can get my MDS to kick on by slowly letting up on the pedal; then holding it there once the MDS light comes on.
I understand having to have a light food to engage Eco mode. What I don't understand is why it isn't coming on as much lately with temps a little cooler. I live in Houston. Most highways are flat as a pancake.Eco mode comes on only when you have light to no load on the motor, even relatively casual driving it may not activate.
As mentioned, easy driving off or light throttle will usually get it to turn on, along with coasting. If you live in a constantly flat area, you will see it turn on more often than if you live in a hilly area or even light elevation changes.
