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(gradient,load,...)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration,braking,...).
Thesystemneversuggests:
- engagingfirstgear,
- engagingreversegear.
The information appears in the instrument
panelintheformofanarrow.
Onvehicleswithmanualgearbox,thearrow
may be accompanied by the recommended
gear.
The gear engagement recommendations
must not be considered compulsory.

road, traffic density and safety remain
important factors in the choice of the best
gear.

replacetheneedforvigilanceonthepartofthe
driver.

modewithStop&Start).Inthiscase,N is
displayedintheinstrumentpanel.
