Up-Shift Light

[JammyBStard]

It's driving me mad; this stupid little green "Shift" light in the speed'o that keeps distracting me every gear change; is there any way of turning it off?
I can see what it's for, but its pretty useless really; I know to shift early on the open road to save fuel; but when your following another vehical close, driving down hill or past pedestrians it's not always a safe time to be shifting up (or getting distracted by silly green flashing lights!).

Is there a way of turning it off?

I have not seen the green shift light?

I have an orange arrow that comes on next the the mileage on the LCD centre display. You hardly notice it on mine as it's partially obscured by the steering wheel.

However .... Back to your question, I have not read in my manual any way of turning it off. Bulb out jobby?

Could be; How easy is it to get to the dash bulbs?

I've found a way of keeping it off on my Astra ,

If you drive very softly if pops up about 2k-2.5k,

BUT if you put your foot down it doesn't pop up not everyones choice but works for me lol,

ecoflex model

It's a company motor; It's not an ecoflex model; but I think the upshift is an extra; and work seem to think they can anoy us into driving more economically;
(As we speak I'm lying my way through an online driving course on this sort of Cr4p).

A short shifting light in a VXR, the world never ceases to amaze me!

POWER!,,, Careful now

[mduck]

a little bit of both worlds...


But then again it can be driven "really" economically, less than the Vectra OPC did anyways....
