Gear Change indicator
My partners V60 is a 2012 D2 Drive R Design (that was spec'd with every extra), one of the things I like about it is the gear change display indicator on the dash, where it displays which gear you are in, and an up or down arrow when you need to change up or down gear. Whilst it not really that useful I do quite like it.
My 2013 D4 R design is a bit more poverty spec and doesn't have this option, is the feature only on the drive models?, or can it be added to any model via software?. |

If you are talking automatic boxes then you get this when using manual mode.
flick the gear selector to the left and you will notice the change in the display, it will initially show "S" for Sport Mode, but you can flick up and down and the "S" will change to show the gear and when speed v revs is incorrect it will show an up r down arrow.

There might be something in the settings on how to enable it. My wife's Mini has that feature but you have to enable it via the multi-indicator stalk, a painfully detailed procedure that take me ages to do if she turns it off by mistake...

I have got a 2011 V60 Drive Lux manual,
It shows the gear and the arrow, all the time. It can't be disabled or turned off to my knowledge. It's the older dash with a dial rather than the newer TFT displays. Yours may be the newer ones, which will have a different set up, and may be more configurable. If you get other responses you may be able to determine what spec provides what. If it doesn't appear to be standard, I'd hazard a guess it is part of the the Drive Spec, as I think it's suppose to tell you when to change economically. |

if you had that in your post (or even better in your signature) it would save people guessing
