GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the
driver to change gear through a specific indication on
the control panel. Through the GSI, the driver is
notified that changing gear will allow a reduction in
fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) fig. 5 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 in 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 improve consumption.
