Hey M/T pilots, I discovered another feature that is OFF by default on our cars, ON by default on the A/T's. It's a gear indicator and fuel economy upshift light in the upper right of the odometer segment.

From p. 176-177 of the Owner's Manual (of course), START button either OFF or ACCY, not ON, push the ODO/TRIP button until G-off shows then hold button in until G-on appears and you're done.

The selected gear will appear when the clutch pedal is fully released. The fuel economy upshift arrow will flash three times at the sweet spot, around 2K-2.5Krpm and won't light again in that gear so it's no-nag.

No downshift arrow like the A/T's and no neutral indicator but that's why it's called a manual.

This is prolly posted elsewhere on the forum but was newsworthy enough for me to mention.
