■Gear Shift Indicator
The indication of the gear shift indica- tor 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
operation depending on the traffic conditions or driving conditions (e.g.,
overtaking or driving on an uphill
slope).
This indicator supports the driver to
drive more fuel-efficiently. The vehicle
system determines the shift opera- tion timing depending on the driving
conditions, and informs the driver by
the indicator on the meter. For details, refer to Gear shift indicator.
