Question

[gerald37]

I have a Can Am Spyder RT with semi automatic. I notice part of the time there is an up arrow in the gear selector and other times it does not show. I know this is probably telling you to shift but why is it there part of the time and not always? Is there a setting for this?

When you get the arrow--you are in ECO mode. To toggle off/on--hold the MODE button in for an extra 2 seconds or so. Most prefer the non-ECO selection as the arrow is annoying. Use the engine sound to shift.

If the arrow shows up at all, then it means that you have eco mode on. Hold the mod button and turn it off.

When in Eco Mide, the arrow indicates that you should upshift, if it isn't there it either means that you're in 6th gear, or you're in the proper gear for economy for your speed, or that you are in a quick acceleration like merging onto an expressway.

As as the others have said to turn the Mode on or off hold the Mode key for 2 seconds and you will see the green eco indicator go off or on.
