Operation
Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up, on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.T he   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   a   lower   gear.
Example:
-
 
Y

Depending
  on   the   driving   situation   and   your  
v

ehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

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

On
  certain   Diesel   versions   with   manual

c

hanging   into   neutral   (N is displayed in
the

The

n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
c

onfiguration   of   the   road,   the   amount   of   traffic  
a
