Gearshift indicator
(if equipped)
52RM30410
In the following cases, the gearshift indica-
tor is indicated in the information display
when the ignition switch is in “ON” position.
• When the gearshift lever is in a position
other than “N” (Neutral).
• When the transfer lever is in “2H” or “4H”
position.
• For vehicles equipped with the cruise
control, when the system is not in use.
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.
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.
• 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.
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.
