Gear indicator in instrument cluster (A1) in sport mode "S" and in comfort mode "C"

It shows the driver the currently selected shift range "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6" or the gear selector switch position "D", "R", "N" (neutral) or "P" (park).

Gear indicator in the instrument cluster in manual program "M"

It shows the driver the engaged gear "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7".

Transmission mode display in instrument cluster

It shows the driver the program selection "S" (sport program), "C" (comfort program) or "M" (manual program) performed at the transmission modes button (A40/9s8) (model 216) or at the transmission modes switch (S16/5) (model 221).

The arrows in the gear indicator show the driver which permissible gear selector switch position he can change to. The decisive factor here is whether the speed, at which the vehicle is moving, is under or above the speed threshold of 5 km/h.
