113Driving











Gear shift indicator * System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.


Operation
The system intervenes only when driving economically.
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 engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

*
Accordin
g to engine. -
You are in third gear.
Example:
-
You press the accelerator pedalmoderately.
-
The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied b
y
the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which makes
par ticular demands on the performance of the engine (firm pressure on theaccelerator pedal, for example, whenover taking...), the system will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.
