Gearshiftindicator
Systemwhichreducesfuelconsumptionbyrecommendingthemostsuitablegear.
Thesystemadaptsitsgearchange
recommendationaccordingtothe
drivingconditions(slope,load,...)and
thedemandsofthedriver(power,
acceleration,braking,...).
Thesystemneversuggests:

- engagingreversegear,
Example:
Theinformationappearsintheinstrument
panelintheformofanarrow.
Onvehicleswithmanualgearbox,thearrow
canbeaccompaniedbytherecommended
gear.
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going
throughtheintermediategears.
Thegearengagementrecommendationsmust
notbeconsideredcompulsory.
Thisisbecausetheconfigurationoftheroad,
trafficdensityandsafetyremainimportant
factorsinthechoiceofthebestgear.
Sothedecisiontofollowornottheindications
fromthesystemremainswiththedriver.
- Youareinthirdgear.
- Youpresstheacceleratorpedal.
- Thesystemmaysuggestthatyouengage
ahighergear.
Withanelectronicorautomaticgearbox,thesystemisonlyactiveinmanualmode.
OnBlueHDi135and150versionswithmanual
gearbox,thesystemmaysuggestchanginginto
neutralsothattheenginecangointostandby
(StopmodewithStop&Start),incertaindriving
conditions.
Thisfunctioncannotbedeactivated.
