Systems and methods for providing driver shift aids

摘要

Systems and methods for displaying a driver shift aid are disclosed. In one aspect, an electronic control unit causes a shift indicator to be presented if a need for a shift is detected and vehicle performance after the shift would not be unduly impacted. If the 5 vehicle operator follows the guidance of the shift indicator, vehicle fuel efficiency may be improved while vehicle performance remains adequate. In one aspect, a different indicator may be displayed to prompt the vehicle operator to shift either one gear or two gears. 7610349_1 (GHMatters) P96155.AU.1 PCABRAL -- CONTRO UNIT(S) PROGRAMBLE PERFORMANCE SETTINGSTORE, PROF7L E STORE ENGINESENSOR A UXIIA/1R Y TRANSMISSION MODULE US SOR SOR ODL 11 0 2 l ' Fig.1.
