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 Â
r
ecommendation  according  to  the Â
d
riving  conditions  (slope,  load,  ...)  and Â
t
he  demands  of  the  driver  (power, Â
a

Example:

Depending
 on  the  driving  situation  and  your Â
v
ehicle's  equipment,  the  system  may  advise Â
y
ou  to  skip  one  (or  more)  gear(s).  You  can Â

The
 information  appears  in  the  instrument Â
p
anel  in  the  form  of  an  arrow,  accompanied  by Â
t
he  recommended  gear.
On
 certain  Diesel  versions  with  manual Â
g

c
hanging  into  neutral  (N is displayed in
the
 instrument  panel)  so  that  the  engine Â
c
an  go  into  standby  (STOP  mode Â
w

c
onditions.
The
 gear  engagement  recommendations  must Â
n
ot  be  considered  compulsory.  In  fact,  the Â
c
onfiguration  of  the  road,  the  amount  of  traffic Â
a
nd  safety  remain  determining  factors  when Â
c
hoosing  the  best  gear.  Therefore,  the  driver Â
