Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can follow this instruction without engaging the intermediate gears. The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic and safety remain determining factors when choosing 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.
Example:
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an ar row.
The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to the driving conditions (slope, 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 appropriate gear.
- You are in third gear.
With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in manual mode.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox, the arrow may be accompanied by the gear recommended.
