Disable Shift Up/down Display

[Regdog]

Hi, I'm looking for some advice how or if it is possible to disable the "shift gear" display on the dashboard. It's just useless information in my eyes and I could very well do without it. In fact, I would like my Auris even more without this distracting blinking arrow.

I haven't found any info on google or this forum, so if anybody has a clue, please let me now.

Doubt it's possible even via Toyota dealer software. Dismantling the panel and removing the LED's would definitely fix it ;)

You just get used to it after a very short while, by changing gear using the light, they say you can save up to 8% on your MPG

You really just dont notice it after a while

Totally agree. I used to have arguements with it, but now I drive by it. Unless of course I want to go a tad fast, not that I would.

I thought it was going to be a nuisance, but i have found that i'm usually changing gear just as it flashes, so my driving style can't be too bad for economy. I think it might be a bit eager on some shallow inclines, but its not intrusive when your driving.

A black sticker, marker should do the job......

I quite like it, especially on hills when I may change up and find im labouring the engine... But its funny, I'll see it say 'Shift up' and im like 'nuh huh! I know the steep part is coming' and about half a second later it agrees with me :)

The shift display is definately smart, I'm not arguing that. But still, when I get annoyed by something I don't give up so easily .

Are there any good instructions on how to remove the dashboard cover? I think snippet of electrical tape should do the trick for me, but I'm afraid to do the handywork myself unless I exactly know what I'm supposed to be doing.

hi

the cover just pulls off.just get a good two hand grip of it and give good tug.its held by 4 clips.

the instrument panel has 4 screws holding it.once these are removed there is enough cable behind it to lay it on the dash,best lay a cloth on dash so you dont scratch it.

Hi, I know I'm late to the thread but I have a question. My Corolla has a multi information display and where the gear indicator light is, it says 'SHIFT'. This stays on permanently and is never accompanied with either up or down arrows even when I delay the gear changes. Is there something wrong? Should shift up arrows appear?

When you say gear indicator light have you got a Manual, Mutli-mode or CVT transmission?
