Gear shift indicator

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.

The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulsory.

In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic and safety remain determining factors when choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible for deciding whether or not to follow the advice given by the system.

- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
