Abstract:
An apparatus and method for guiding inertia driving of a manual transmission vehicle is provided to maximally extend a no-load driving state with an inertia driving state by blocking a power transmission path of a drive train. The apparatus includes a user selection switch operated to select a coasting mode and a display unit configured to display an entrance enabled state to an inertia driving mode to allow the entrance enabled state to be visually recognized. In addition, a controller is configured to receive an operation signal of the user selection switch and display the entrance enabled state to the inertia driving mode on the display unit to induce the inertia driving mode selection.
