GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR(for versions/markets, where provided)
The “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the driver to change
gear through a special indication on the display fig. 9.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards reducing fuel consumption, it is
recommended to stick to "Natural" or "All Weather" mode and to
follow the suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator, where the traffic
conditions allow it.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher gear, when the SHIFT DOWN
(
SHIFT) icon is displayed, it advises the driver to engage a lower
gear.
NoteThe indication in the instrument panel remains on until the driver
shifts gear or the driving conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve consumption.
WELCOME MOVEMENTOn some versions, when the key is turned to MAR-ON, the following
occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of the speedometer and rpm gauge;
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display;
❒displaying of an animated graphic representation of the vehicle
profile.
Gauge movement
❒If the key is removed from the ignition switch whilst the gauges are
moving, they immediately go back to their initial position.
❒Once they have reached the full scale values, the gauges rest on the
value indicated by the vehicle.
❒The movement of the gauges stops when the engine is started.
Lighting of graphic symbols/display
A few seconds after the key is inserted, the gauges, graphic symbols
and display light up in sequence.
Display of graphic animation
When the key is removed from the ignition switch (with the doors
closed), the display remains lit up and shows a graphic animation.
The display lighting is then dimmed gradually until it goes out
completely.
