OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
72RH0-74E
Gearshift Indicator
72R0074
When the gearshift lever is in a position
other than “N” (Neutral), the gearshift indi-
cator is indicated on the information dis-
play when the ignition switch is in “ON”
position.
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 on the dis-
play while driving, we recommend you to
shift up or down the gear until the arrow
disappears. It is the optimal gear position
for a driving condition that reduces the
over revolution and stress to the engine,
and improves fuel consumption.
For details on how to use the transmission,
refer to “Using the Transmission” in this
section.
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.
• If you release your foot from the acceler-
ator pedal while UP arrow is indicated,
UP arrow will disappear for vehicle with
the instrument cluster.
• 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.
WARNING
• Reduce your speed and downshift
to a lower gear before going down
a long or steep hill. A lower gear
will allow the engine to provide
braking. Avoid riding the brakes or
they may overheat, resulting in
brake failure.
• When driving on slippery roads,
slow down before downshifting.
Excessive and/or sudden changes
in engine speed may cause loss of
traction, which could cause you to
lose control.
NOTICE
Make sure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stationary before you shift
into reverse.
NOTICE
• To help avoid clutch damage, do
not use the clutch pedal as a foot-
rest while driving or use the clutch
to keep the vehicle stationary on a
slope. Depress the clutch fully
when shifting.
• When shifting or starting off, do not
race the engine. Racing the engine
can shorten engine life and cause
negative effect to smooth shifting.
EXAMPLE
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.
