settings, will show useful driving
information.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a specific indication 5 fig. 29, 30
on the instrument panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
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 shifting to a lower gear.
IMPORTANT The GSI is not active when
the transmission is operating in AUTO
mode.
The indication in the instrument panel
remains on until the driver shifts gear or
the driving conditions go back to a
situation where gearshifting is not
required to improve consumption.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information
in this section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults are
