Default A8 gear indicator?

I've looked through the owner's manual, but haven't found an answer to this question - when the car (2015) is in D (not M), is there any dashboard display selection that will show the current gear being used? I see that it will show when in M, but no mention is made of D, leading me to suspect that what I'm looking for isn't there.

TIA,
Larry

The above post is the track display. Should show your gear next to the D in all displays.

@JUICEBOX @jaywoo @JasonVette , thanks guys. I saw the 'S' at the bottom of Juicebox's pic and assumed Sport.

I did take a ride this AM and tried Sport and Track, and saw no gear # next to the 'D'.

Our car is a 2015; I see that your years are '16, '17 and '18. Can anyone with a '15 shed any light?

Thx!

Just wanted to bring this back TTT. Are there any 2015 A8 owners able to see what gear you're in?

Thx!
