OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Gearshift indicator
EXAMPLE
(1)
61MM0A133
(1) Gearshift indicator
In the following cases, the gearshift indica-
tor is indicated on the information display
when the ignition switch is in "ON" position
or the ignition mode is "ON".
• When the gearshift lever is in a position
other than "N" (Neutral).
• For vehicles equipped with the cruise
control, when the system is not in use.

The electronic control system monitors
driving conditions (such as vehicle speed
and/or engine revolution), and it shows
which gear position is appropriate for your
driving with the indication on the display.
If the UP/DOWN arrow and a gear position
other than what is currently selected are
indicated on the display while driving, we
recommend that you shift the gear up or
down to indicated position. This is the
appropriate gear position for a driving con-
dition that reduces the over revolution and
stress to the engine, and improves fuel
consumption.
For details on how to use the transaxle,
refer to "Using transaxle" in this section.
WARNING
The gearshift indicator is designed to
indicate the appropriate gear position
for your driving, however, this indica-
tor does not relieve the driver of any
responsibility
to
operate
changes attentively.
To drive safely, do not focus your
attention on the gearshift indicator,
pay attention to your driving situation
and shift up or down if necessary.
NOTE:
• The gearshift indicator is not indicated
when the gear position is in "N" (Neu-
tral).
• If you depress the clutch pedal while UP/
DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication
will disappear.
• In ordinary driving, UP arrow will disap-
pear when you release your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
If your vehicle is equipped with the adap-
tive cruise control and while it is working,
however, UP/DOWN arrow may be indi-
cated continuously depending on driv-
ing conditions. It means that the
indicated gear position is appropriate for
the current cruising speed.
• The indication of gearshift indicator tim-
ing may differ depending on the vehicle
condition and/or driving situation even in
the same vehicle speed and engine rev-
olution.
• If any of the electrical systems such as
the radar brake support system or the
®
ESP
is working, the gearshift indicator
will disappear temporarily.
