this is the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the
driver to change gear through a specific indication on
the instrument panel fig. 9.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that changing
gear will allow a reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on the
display, the GSI is advising the driver to engage a
higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon
advises the driver to engage a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel remains on
until the driver changes gear or the driving
conditions return to a situation where changing gear
is not required to reduce consumption.CONTROL BUTTONS
