- Youpresstheacceleratorpedal.
- Thesystemmaysuggestthatyouengage
ahighergear.
Theinformationappearsintheinstrument
panelintheformofanarrow.
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,
- engagingalowergear.
Withanelectronicorautomatic

manualmode.
Onvehiclefittedwithamanual
gearbox,thearrowmaybe
accompaniedbythegear

Dependingonthedrivingsituationandyour
vehicle'sequipment,thesystemmayadvise

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
