GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI system (Gear Shift Indicator) suggests to shift gear by
showing an indication on the control panel (see fig. 9).
Shifting when indicated by GSI will help the driver save fuel.
For fuel-effective driving, select Normal or All Weather mode and
follow the suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator where possible.When the SHIFT UP icon (
NSHIFT) appears on the display, the
GSI is suggesting to select a higher gear and when the SHIFT DOWN
(
OSHIFT) icon it is suggesting that a lower gear should be se-
lected.
NOTE The indication on the instrument panel stays on until the
driver shifts or until the driving conditions return to a situation in
which shifting is not required to reduce consumption.
