System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.ex
ample:
on c

with manual gearbox, the system may
suggest changing into neutral

The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety
remain impor tant factors in the
choice of the best gear.
th

e gear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
