Default DIC Info Display Screens

I only have about 300 miles on my Corvette (VIN 10566, Z51, NPP, FE4, M7, 3LT) but have a question about the DIC display, specifically for the Info pages. When I look at the manual, pg 5-25, it mentions two displays that I cannot get too. In question is the "ECO Index" and the "Maintenance Due" screens. I seem to get all the other mentioned screens/displays in both the Info and Perf displays......however not the two I mention.

Now an odd thing happened the other day. I had left the vehicle in Touring Mode with the Perf display up showing the first screen (Corvette in middle and gauge displays on the right). Also the display was "Linked to the Drive Mode". When I later got in the car I noticed the display was in the Sport theme/mode. BUT when I went back into Setting to change it back to "Linked to Drive Mode" I noticed there was a setting for "Calibration of the Compass". In addition, before I changed the the Drive Mode I looked at the Info screen......and there was the Eco Index and Maintenance Due screens. Hmmmm....so I went back the Setting, changed the theme to "Linked to Driver Mode". When I did that.....no more Compass calibration (I have Navigation with the 3LT) AND when I went back to the Info screens the "ECO Index" and "Maintenance Due" were gone.

The DIC display has not reverted back to the Sport display since (I still have it Linked to Driver Mode and the Mode is Touring) and I cannot recreate the problem nor can I get to the ECO Index, Maintenance Due or Compass Recalibration (in settings) again.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this or probably more importantly can anyone see the ECO Index (I tried looking for it when in ECO mode and no luck). I'm not sure the Maintenance Due is really relevant or meant to be seen.....but would think the ECO Index should be seen. Just don't know if what happened was a temporary software issue or what. I know the manual has lots of errors and those two screens may or may not be meant to be selected.....but why I did see them if only briefly is a mystery.

Here is what mine does: Go into Information mode and here is the sequence;Speedometer, Trip A, Trip B, Range/Inst Econ, Oil Life, Best Ave Econ w/4 sub settings, Fuel Used/Timer w/4 sub settings, Speed Limit, Eng Hrs/Lifetime Revs.

It's been this way since day one, did not verify if it holds true in Track mode, but in all others this is the sequence.

Go to the stickies ABOVE. There is a neat flowchart of how this all works.

As the creator of those flow charts, I can save the OP the time and inform him that when I created the flow charts, I did not see an option for the "Maintenance Due" screen on the DIC Info screen (so it won't be listed on the flow chart). However, it does indicate that there is one in the manual.

That being said, I am going to guess that when you are within a certain mileage of your next scheduled service, that option will appear. If that is the case, I will amend the chart as appropriate.

There is no more mention of where ECO Index is. Did anyone find this?
Perhaps it's only visible when in V4 mode?
The original poster did say he saw it in DIC.
Can anyone please advise.
Thanks
