a higher gear.
the i

nformation appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
can be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
the s

ystem adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
.

..) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
.

..).
the s

ystem never suggests:
-
en

gaging first gear,
-
engag

ing reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Operation
On certain Diesel versions with
manual gearbox, the system may
suggest changing into neutral (
N is
displayed in the instrument panel) so
that the engine can go into standby
(S
tOP m

ode with Stop & Start), in
certain driving conditions.
the g

ear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory.
thi

s is because the configuration of the road,
traffic density and safety remain important
factors in the choice of the best gear.
the g

ear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
thi

s function cannot be deactivated.
