Gear Shift Indicator - CITROEN C1 2015 Handbook

Gear shift indicator

System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to change gear.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
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.
With an ETG electronic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.
With the PureTech 82 engine, the
system only suggests when to
change up.
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.
