vehicle's equipment, the s
ystem may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the

to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

- The s
ystem may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The in
formation appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow accompanied bythe suggested gear.
