A few definitions… Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank in relation to the
average fuel consumption over the last
few miles (kilometres) travelled. Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption
since the last trip computer zero reset. Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed cal-
culated since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip computer
zero reset.
This value may vary following a

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a m a n u a l g e a r b o x .
Operation
The system intervenes only when dri-
ving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruction with-
out engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
c o n fi g u r a t i o n o f t h e r o a d , t h e a m o u n t
o f t r a f fi c a n d s a f e t y r e m a i n d e t e r m i n i n g
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
( fi r m p r e s s u r e o n t h e a c c e l e r a t o r
p e d a l , f o r e x a m p l e , w h e n o v e r -

arrow on the instrument panel display.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
In the event of the engine la-
bouring or over-revving, the
g e a r s e l e c t e d fl a s h e s f o r a f e w s e c o n d s ,
then the actual gear engaged is dis-
played.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
