it should have a parcel shelf it is missing

the rev indicator lights come on at the top end of the rev range so you need to be fair revving it before they appear

 

Great, thanks, Cosmicma - should the gear shift up/down arrows be appearing at all? (I'm not fussed as I shift when I'm ready to but just want to make sure that any wee things are sorted now whilst it isn't going to cost us ...)

 

not sure about the gear shift indicator i have a manual diesel which doesn't have it

 

Yeah you can have the shift lights on, and the eco lights too. You have to go into the car setup and enable/disable it there. You do it by holding the I button on the steering wheel. You scroll up and down with the I button too, and then select with the Sel/Reset button next to it on the steering whee.

 

they might have simply forgotten to put the shelf back in. When we bought my wife's car our garage did the same, having removed it to do a valet before we came to pick it up. had to drive back to get it....

 

although there appear to be six lights they come on in pairs 2, 4 & 6 so theres only really 3, I got my first rev lights last week after reading the wiki and trying it out, but I had to practically red line it to get them to come on - I thought mine were dud too but as a city driver I'll likely not see them agan. The up and down shift lights - on a 2011 Type S at least - are somewhere in the menu via holding I on the wheel where you can turn them on or off, can't remember if shift and eco are seperate options, always get lost in that menu and end up accidentally setting the 30mph warning..

 

I didnt know the 2007 cars also had the shift arrows, i thought that was added in a later face lift?
Perhaps they gave you a manual from a face lifted model?

 

+1 You are right the shift indicators were only introduced with the facelift in 2009, so you are not seeing them come on because they are not there.

 

Well that would explain it Will have to try revving it up over the weekend to test out the rev display again but it's no big deal.

Will ask the dealer what happened to the parcel shelf too, thanks.

 

As above, 'Rev' lights are not indicators to suggest when to shift, they are more like red line indicators to tell you that you NEED to shift
