i've only read the owner's manual to solve earlier problems with the car. since my owner's manual is with the car at a transmission shop right now, could anybody explain what the digital area circled in green is? my thought is that it stands for "Drive" in an automatic or something. i have a 6-speed, so please tell me if i'm right. and if i am, is it just wasted space in the manual crossfires? sorry if you find this question/post ridiculous in any way.

 

Yes, in an auto equipped crossfire this gives the trans gear selected. 1 thru 4 and D.

 

But only if you change it from the standard Drive position. If you put it in drive it will be in first, but it will read D, but if you autostick down it will say
1, 2, 3, 4, D.

 

well i guess it's useless for me. i wish they could have made it useful for the MTs. they could have put a tach light or indicator of some sorts to tell you when to change gears. i know it's minor, but don't just leave a blank digital space.

 

I am not sure that you have a 6 speed...6 speeds only have a clock, no gear indicator.

 

yes, i have a 6-speed MT. and yes, i only have a clock, but there's still the blank digital space where the gear indicator would be.

 

I think it would be cool if the gear indicator display could be made to work with the 6 speed.

 

Oh, well the picture you posted is an Auto. Sorry, I thought it was your car.

 

Yeah, that area is not lit up in the manual versions.

 

no prob. i just saw that and wondered what the "D" stood for. now i know.

 

like i said up top, i think it would be nice if it had a shift light there or something more sporty. maybe a g-force measure?
