Driving
gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
example:
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.
on certain BlueHDi 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 (SToP mode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
-
The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
on vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
may be accompanied by the recommended
gear.
-
-
You are in third gear.
You press the accelerator pedal.
The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety
remain important factors in the
choice of the best gear.
The gear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (gradient, load, ...)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
-
-
engaging first gear,
engaging reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.
