By default the MT has the gear indicator display turned off, but if you read the manual, it gives instructions on how to turn it on.

I normally know what gear I'm in, but sometimes my mind blanks as I'm doing rapid shifts in changing freeway traffic, and I forget if I'm in 3rd or 5th, or 6th or 4th. Then it's nice to have the gear indicator to remind me before I realize I forgot.

I've accidentally began to upshift to 5th when I was already up in 6th, thinking I was somehow in 4th (despite indicators of speed to rpm that that wasn't the case) and nearly money shifted.
