To those who don't understand the issue:

The problem is, at night, you can't see which gear you are in on the LBs with Auto trannys. This is not so much a problem for the primary driver because they know the feel of the gated shifter and are used to it. The problem is when someone, unfamiliar with the car, drives it at night and can't figure out what gear they are in. They may drive around in a lower gear and get poor mileage or ruin the tranny by overheating it.

If you don't own a LB with Auto this thread is useless to you, unless you are offering advice or knowledge. This is a real issue with us LB-A owners.

I'll throw out a small gripe... The clock is not "on" when the ignition is in the accessory mode.

Not a big deal though...

Ayka · 10-02-2006, 01:32 PM

I'll toss out another.

The Accessory knobs (for AC/Heat etc..) are the Ugliest Green ever concieved by mankind, and in no way match the interior of ANY of our cars.

I'll be replacing mine with Blue (Hopefully)

eTiMaGo · 10-02-2006, 01:41 PM

Yeah I'm still wondering how I can use all those compartments... Knowing how wonderful and clean and organized I am, I'll be wishing for more storage compartments and/or losing a lot of stuff that are actually in those compartments

nsmitchell · 10-02-2006, 02:08 PM

I have one: On my Automatic, you can't really tell what gear you are in when it is dark. I usually click it into D and click left to 3 then back to D.
I know how to do this, but I'm not sure my wife does or cares if she's in D or 3 as long as the car is moving in a forward direction. I think the sedan has gear indicators on the display to the left of the speedometer. I was thinking about putting a little LED light on the shifter, and painting the top of it black, so it will only shine down on the shifter, and not up and into your eyes.

That's my only complaint as well. I asked in a thread awhile back if anyone knows of a shift knob that has lights that shine downward. No replies at all. I can't believe we're the only two automatic Yaris owners that find this a annoyance.

I know you eventually just know which gear is which especially in this 4 speed automatic, but everyone else that drives my car at night has problems with it. WTF was Toyota thinking by not putting gear indicators on the display...

I have seen several people complain about this but my sedan has lighted indicators next to the shifter. I wonder if its just automatic LB's that are not lighted. Is the trim around the sedan shifter the same as the LB? If so, maybe you can buy it from the dealer.

I think their talking about the lack of an Indicator on the Dashboard/Heads Up.

Our Automatic LBs have LEDs behind the actual shifter, but their Dim as hell (and ugly as sin too).
