Operation
Gear efficiency 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 first gear,
-
enga
ging
r
everse
g
ear,
-
e
ngaging a lower gear.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
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
f
ollow this instruction without engaging the
i
ntermediate
g
ears.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a
higher gear.
The
information appears in the instrument
p
anel in the form of an arrow, accompanied by
t
he recommended gear.
On
certain Diesel versions with manual
g
earbox, the system may suggest
c
hanging into neutral (N
is displayed in
t
he instrument panel) so that the engine
c
an go into standby (STOP mode
w
ith Stop & Start), in certain driving
c
onditions.
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
system cannot be deactivated.
