2-2. Instrument cluster n Gear position display Indicates the current gear, and the range of gears that is available when the shift lever is in the D position. The gear range is shown by the number of dots (•) and the current gear is shown as a number. The transmission automatically selects the gears within the driver selected gear range. In the illustration to the left, a range of 8 available gears (1 through 8) has been selected by the driver. (The shift lever is in the D position with 8 ranges enabled) It is possible for the transmission to automatically select between all 8 of the gears. In this case, the transmission has selected third gear. When in the M position, the "F" mark is displayed. CAUTION n The information display at low temperatures Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. For example, there is a lag between the driver's downshifting and the new gear number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or serious injury. 138
