Hi - I am new to the GLC world and just purchased a GLC 43 AMG. Love it. When I first drove it I noticed it showed which gear the vehicle was in, but recently it seemed to have disappeared. I think it was in the lower right corner of the middle screen between the rev counter and speedo. It just says 'trip' there now. Anyone know how to get this displayed again? (I have been playing with the setting trying to find my way around.)
you probably inadvertently used the left side thumb pad and changed the display. There are two little black thumb pads, one on each side of the steering wheel. The right one controls the info system or large display in the center of the console, the left one controls the instrument panel. just run your thumb over the black pad on the left and watch your center display-owners manual has all of the info you need. Take time to get in touch with all of the views and data you have available and then set up your display how you like it-
There are different display options that can show MPH in the center, G's you are pulling, gear you are in, MPG etc. Lots of info available, you just need to find what you want to display.

The 2019 is the pre-facelift, so no touchpads on the steering wheel and the analog instrument cluster with the digital display in the center has always been limited in what you can show at the same time. As said above there are different screens you can bring up. If you press the Home button on the left part of your steering wheel it brings up a menu with different categories of information you can display. Trip, Navi, Radio, Media etc. Once you select one of them by pressing Ok, then each of them has different groups of information you can cycle through with the up/down arrow buttons on the left. So you just have to find the display that shows the current gear. In manual mode you should always see the current gear in the upper part of the display where you see PRND. The D changes to M with the current gear next to it.
Perhaps the following video helps. Starting at 8:45 he cycles through some of the displays. I don't recall which one shows the current gear. This is all much better with the new fully digital instrument cluster where you can select from different layouts and have two configurable areas of the instrument cluster where you can show what you want to see. I personally love the Supersport layout shown in the pic below with the rev counter and current gear in the center and then on either side you can bring up different pieces of information.
