On your shifter you should have the button that allows you to shift through the gears when in manual mode. Press either up or down on that and they should return.

It's the button on the gear shift lever that has the "+/-" sign.

If you don't want to see anything on the screen, go to the gauge mode where you see the transmission temperature and then hit the right arrow. This will take you to a blank screen where you could potentially not be distracted

Also when the gear indicator is up you can press the - and you can lock out gears.

thanks for the responces, when in Manual shift mode my gear indicator works along with the letter M. my issue is when I am in the "D" I have lost the gear indecator for gears 1-6. the area remains blank left of the MPG.

There are a bunch of things you can have on the screen just use the keypad control on the steering wheel to pick up your "flavor". You can also turn the whole thing off (second screen of the first item on the "selection menu").

Yes and we've told you at least 3 times now how to get it to show up while in "D". Just hit the + button on the shifter and the numbers 6 down to 1 should all appear on the right hand side of the display screen. If that doesn't work then you may want to take it in and have the computer reflashed as the new update has the option built in and will leave that up on the screen all the time.

There is a way you can sort of turn it off. There is an option that will just blank out the screen. I think it's the top option, then scroll to the right and it will leave it blank.

But i still have that problem and i have had mine for 2 months and 6k miles already. Just can't keep my eyes off it at times. But i am doing better.
