WARNING
■
Gear Shift Indicator (if equipped)
The indication of the gear shift indicator is only as a guideline for driving
more fuel-efficiently. The indicator does not inform the driver about the safe
shift operation timing. The driver has the responsibility for suitable shift oper-
ation depending on the traffic conditions or driving conditions (e.g., overtak-
ing or driving on an uphill slope).
This indicator supports the driver to drive more fuel-efficiently. The vehicle
system determines the shift operation timing depending on the driving condi-
tions, and informs the driver by the indicator on the combination meter. For
details, refer to Gear shift indicator.
Usually, the gear shift indicator is a guideline for driving more fuel-efficiently,
and it also may operate to prevent a possible stall at a low engine speed.

To help enable fuel-efficient driv-
ing, the shift-up indicator flashes
3 times to indicate upshift timing.
The default setting of the indicator
is off. The indicator can be turned
on/off. (→P. 209)
