The electronic control system monitors
driving condition (such as vehicle speed
and/or engine revolution), and it shows
which gear position is optimal for your driv-
ing with the indication on the display.
If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated in the dis-
play while driving, we recommend you to
shift up or down the gear. It is the optimal
gear position for a driving condition that
reduces the over revolution and stress to
the engine, and improves fuel consump-
tion.
For details on how to use the transmission,
refer to "Using the transmission" in this sec-
tion.
A WARNING
The gearshift indicator is designed to
indicate optimal gear position for
your driving, however, a driver will
not be relieved from the duty of care
of driving operation or gear change
with this indicator.
To drive safe, do not gaze the gear-
shift 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 UPI
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.
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
dual sensor brake support system, or
ESP" system is working, the gearshift
indicator will disappear temporarily.
