Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can follow this instruction without engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear recommended should not be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffi c 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.
This function cannot be deactivated.
In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the performance
of the engine (fi rm pressure on the accelerator pedal, for example, when overtaking...),
the system will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
Example: - You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of an arrow in the instrument panel screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, this arrow may be accompanied by the recommended gear.
* According to engine.
