This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
When the function is deactivated, the orange
indicator lamp is lit; if the engine was in standby,

phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.

Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may recommend
skipping one or more gears.
