Gear efficiency indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears.You can follow this instruction without going through the intermediate gears.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- You are in third gear.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow may be accompanied by the recommended g e a r.
The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to the driving conditions (gradient, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power, acceleration, braking, ...).The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,- engaging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
On certain Diesel versions with manual gearbox, the system may suggest changing into neutral (N is displayed in the instrument panel) so that the engine can go into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving conditions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulsory.This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety remain impor tant factors in the choice of the best gear.The gear efficiency indicator system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
