Gear-change indicator
Fig. 47 Instrument panel: gear-change indica-
t
or (m
anual
gearbox).
A gear change will be recommended if the
g
e
ar
you are in is not the most economical
choice. If no gear-change is recommended, it
means that you are already in the most eco-
nomical gear.
Vehicles with a manual gearbox
The following display symbols ››› Fig. 47
mean:
●
Change to a higher gear: the suggested
g
ear appears to the right of the current gear
when a higher gear is recommended.
●
Change to a lower gear: the suggested
gear appears to the left of the current gear
when a lower gear is recommended.
The gear recommendation may occasionally
skip a gear (2nd 4th).

The disp
lay is only visible in tiptronic mode
›››

CAUTION
The gear-change indicator is intended to help

mend the right gear for all driving situations.
In certain situations, only the driver can
choose the correct gear (for instance when
overtaking, driving up a steep gradient or
towing a trailer).
Note
The display disappears from the instrument
panel when
you press the clutch pedal.
