With an automatic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode. * Depending on engine.
th

e information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
th

e system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, ...).
