Abstract

An indicating system for an automatic motor vehicle transmission is described which includes second indicating elements in addition to first indicating elements for indicating a preselected driving step. The second indicating elements, particularly during a semi-automatic operating mode of the motor vehicle transmission with a manual preselection of the gear steps, displays an actually shifted gear step. The first and second indicating elements are advantageously arranged in two vertical parallel rows in an indicating instrument of the motor vehicle.
