Abstract

A method for indicating a vehicle operation in a fuel economy range, for a vehicle with a manual transmission, indicates that the vehicle is operating in a fuel economy range when both of an up-shifting condition and a down-shifting condition are not satisfied. The method further detects a non-regular state of the vehicle operation and stops the indication of the vehicle operation under the fuel economy range when the non-regular state of the vehicle operation is detected even though both of the up-shifting and down-shifting conditions are not satisfied.
