GEAR SHIFT
INDICATOR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator)
advises the driver to change gear via a sig-
nal on the instrument panel (see fig. 108).
Through the GSI, where provided, the dri-
ver is advised that changing gear will re-
duce fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
cutting fuel consumption, it is recom-
mended to follow the suggestions of the
Gear Shift Indicator. When the SHIFT UP icon (
NSHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is advising
the driver to select a higher gear, while
the SHIFT DOWN icon (
OSHIFT) sug-
gests a lower gear should be engaged.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and, if pos- sible, well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is engaged;
❒disconnect the clip for the negative bat-tery terminal and check battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge the
battery if the indicator is dark and the
middle area is not green;
❒clean and protect the painted parts us-ing protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal partsusing special compounds readily avail-
able;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubberwindscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒open the windows slightly;
❒cover the car with a fabric or perfo-rated plastic sheet. Do not use compact
plastic sheets which do not allow hu-
midity to evaporate from the surface of
the car;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 barabove the normal specified pressure
and check regularly;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery fromthe electrical system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the in-
dicator shows a dark colour without
the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the car alarm with the remote control.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted – do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pave-
ments and also avoid driving
for long distances on roads
not covered with snow to avoid dam-
aging the car and the road surface.
