[DIG-S]

The info should be in the car handbook but it's an indicator to tell you when to shift up or down a gear --


SHIFT LEVER INDICATOR (Manual transmission – where fitted)

The shift lever indicator can help to improve the level of environmentally friendly driving. When the up arrow appears, upshifting is recommended.When the down arrow appears, downshifting is recommended.


The up and down arrows only appear when the car is moving.

And just like every other car we have had with such a light its a total load of bollocks. If you were mad enough to obey it you would either destroy the car through a lack of mechanical sympathy or crash whilst looking at the dash instead of the road.

If you do not know when to change gear IMHO you should not be driving. Driving an auto may be an option but if a driver should be so poor as not to appreciate when to change gear they should not be allowed on the road in any car.
