Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   (or   more)   gear(s).   You   can  
f

ollow   this   instruction   without   engaging   the  
i

ntermediate
 g
ears.
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   instrument  
p

System
  which   reduces   fuel   consumption   by   recommending   the   most   appropriate   gear.
With   an   automatic   gearbox,   the   system   is   only  
a

* Depending
  on   engine.
On
  vehicle   fitted   with   a   manual   gearbox,  
t

he   arrow   may   be   accompanied   by   the   gear  
re

commended. 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:
