it will be displayed on the top right of the display always, no option to turn it off

Have you got a pic of it please?

The gear indicator is a single white digit at the top right of the MaxiDot display. To see it, you need to have a gear selected and the clutch released.

It also 'nags' you to change gear. If it thinks you need to change up, the digit will be replaced by an inverse video number of the gear it thinks you should be in, with an up arrow. Conversely, if it thinks you need to change down, the digit will be replaced by an inverse video number of the gear it thinks you should be in, with a down arrow.

Not much more than a party trick.

No gear shift indicator on my non maxidot 2010 vRS display.

Steering column controller update perhaps?. They did that to my Sept 10 Octy when I got it serviced last week.
