Gearshift Indicator
(if equipped)
56RM03028
In the following case, the gearshift indica-
tor is indicated in the information display
when the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is “ON”.
• When the gearshift lever is in a position
other than “N” (Neutral).
The electronic control system monitors
driving condition (such as vehicle speed
and/or engine revolution), and it recom-
mends gearshift for your driving with indi-
cations on display.
If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated on the dis-
play while driving, we recommend you to
shift up or down. It is the optimal gear posi-
tion for a driving condition that reduces the
over revolution and stress to the engine,
and improves fuel consumption.
NOTE:
When cruise control system SET indicator
is ON, GearShift Indicator may not be dis-
played.
For details on how to use the transaxle,
refer to “Using the Transaxle” in this sec-
tion.
