The Scion website seems to say that the car will tell you what gear you are in near the gear handle (or whatever it's called—where the various gears are indicated). My 1997 Camry did this. When it was dark, I could tell what gear I was on by looking down at the gear because there'd be a little orange dot next to what gear I was in.

In my 2010 Scion xD, there's no indication of what gear I am in around the gear itself. On the dashboard there is, but it would be nicer to have it right there near the gear handle.

If this doesn't come standard, can I get it added somehow?

I'm in the habit of only looking at the gear so sometimes I put the car in the wrong gear. One day I'm afraid I might put it in drive when I mean to be in reverse, or vice versa.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. It's not that big of a deal, but I wanted to ask everyone.
