Automatic Transmission

On an automatic transmission vehicle the GPID display contains the two gearbox mode ‘tags’ (Auto and Touch), and a segmented character area. This segmented display can show P, R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 depending on the current gear engaged. The display is dual colour.

Green - normal operation

Red - defined situations.

Manual Transmission

On a manual transmission vehicle the GPID display informs the driver when the current gear has reached it’s upper rev. limit the GPID will indicate revs increasing. The optimum time to shift gear is when the GPID shows three bars and is red at the top and bottom.

For the first 2000 km (1243 mile) and when ever the engine temperature is below 40°C (104°F) the shift control will indicate early shift changes to protect the engine.

A red ‘R’ will show when the transmission is in reverse.

Message Centre Right

The Message Centre Right is used to display the trip function information and warning / information messages.
