Operation
Example:
- Y ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a
higher gear.
Depending
on the driving situation and your
v
ehicle's equipment, the system may advise
y
ou to change gear.
The gear engagement recommendations must
n
ot be considered compulsory. In fact, the
c
onfiguration of the road, the amount of traffic
a
nd safety remain determining factors when
c
hoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
r
emains responsible for deciding whether or not
t
o follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The information appears in the
i
nstrument panel in the form of an
a
r row. The
system adapts its gear change
r
ecommendation according to the d
riving conditions (slope, load, ...) and t
he demands of the driver (power,
a
cceleration, braking, ...).
The
system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-

With
an ETG electronic gearbox, the
s

c
hange up.
