Hi everyone - I am new to this forum so sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. I have recently bought a Hyundai I30 Diesel Hatchback 1.6 CRDi (128) Blue drive Style 5dr, and am generally very pleased with it. I'm getting to grips with the more intricate details, but there's something I can't quite work out re the eco drive gear change indicator. In the manual it says: "This indicator informs you which gear is desired when driving to save fuel. For example ^3 indicates that shifting up to 3rd gear is desired, and v3 indicates shifting down to 3rd gear is desired." Fair enough - but my indicator only ever tells me when to change up, and never down, even if I try deliberately not changing down and driving along in top gear at about 40 mph. Is this normal? Or is it a fault? Any advice would be gratefully received...

My Style Nav only gives me the "up" finger, not a downshifting one either.

Gonna turn mine off anyway, in the settings.

My last two i30's only displayed the upshift and not downshift.  My current Venga is the same - but I never bother to look at it - most of us good drivers know intuitively when to change gear.

I turned that feature off not long after purchasing the vehicle because if your looking at when to change gears then your not looking at the road

To answer the question though only upshifts are shown.

Of course this is true - if patronising* - but if there's a fault on my new car, however small, I would like to know about it. It does seem that this function is not as described in the manual.

(* judging by the signature line on your posting I am guessing this is your form of humour)
