Gear shift indicator
Principle
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. This is because
the configuration of the road, the amount of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore, the
driver remains responsible for deciding whether
or not to follow the indications given.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode. The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be
accompanied by a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.
