GEAR Gear indicator setup
Optional gear readout will be displayed to the left of the clock only.
No programming is required with stock gearing and tire size.
The gauge can 'learn' the gear ratios based on speed and RPM, no additional sensors are needed.
This feature will work with various transmissions up to seven speed models
The factory preset option will preset the indicator to work with a stock 5 or 6 speed drive train
With a stock 6 speed, there will be a slight delay the first time you shift to sixth gear as the system verifies the gear
When "learning" the gear positions, you will need a stretch of road to gradually reach highway speeds with no interruptions.
Each gear will need the speed to be held steady, until instructed to speed up and shift up.
