The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a specific indication E fig. 59
on the instrument panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.

reducing fuel consumption, it is
advisable to stick to “Natural” or “All
Weather” mode and to follow the
suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator,
where traffic conditions permit.
When the (
) icon is displayed on the
instrument panel, the GSI suggests
switching to a higher gear, while when
the (
) icon is displayed, the GSI
suggests changing to a lower gear.
IMPORTANT The GSI is not active
when the transmission is operating in
AUTO mode.
IMPORTANT The indication in the

driver shifts gear or the driving
conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve
consumption.
