Can I turn off the gear change recommendation on my Volkswagen's display?

The up and down arrows in this feature on the MFD are very distracting, particularly at night. Is there any way of switching it off? I can't find anything in the driver's handbook.

We've had a search and can't find anything either. Have you tried contacting Volkswagen customer services to find out if they know if it's possible? You can turn it off on other cars, such as Porsches and BMWs, so you'd expect that you can on a Volkswagen.
