Driving
Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, the system is only active in manual mode.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.
On BlueHDi 135 and 150 versions with manual
gearbox, the system may suggest changing into
neutral so that the engine can go into standby
(Stop mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving
conditions.
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.
So the decision to follow or not the indications
from the system remains with the driver.
150
Example:
-
You are in third gear.
-
You press the accelerator pedal.
-
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
can be accompanied by the recommended
gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, 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.
