Gear shift indicator *

System designed to reduce fuel consumption by recommending an upshift on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.

Operation

The system only operates when driving economically.

Depending on the driving situation and the vehicle's equipment, the system may recommend skipping one or more gears. You can follow this indication without going through the intermediate gears.

Gear change recommendations should not be considered mandatory. Road layout, traffic density and safety remain decisive factors in choosing the optimal gear. The driver therefore remains responsible for deciding whether to follow the system's indications.

This function cannot be deactivated.

Example: - You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.

- The system may, where applicable, recommend engaging a higher gear.

The information appears as an arrow in the instrument cluster display.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, this may be accompanied by the recommended gear.

When driving places particular demands on engine performance (e.g. pressing the accelerator pedal hard to overtake...), the system will not recommend a gear change.

The system will in no case recommend: - engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse,
- downshifting.
