You can deactivate the gear-change indicator on the sound
system or MMI.
Switching the gear-change indicator on and off
– Select: Function selector button
cluster > Suggested gear ⇒ fig. 12.
To familiarise yourself with the gear-change indicator, we recom-
mend driving in the normal way to start with. A gear change will be
recommended if the gear you are in is not the most economical
choice for the current driving conditions. The gear you are currently
in and the recommended gear will be displayed ⇒ page 21, fig. 11.
Shifting up a gear: The suggested gear appears to the right of the
current gear when a higher gear is recommended.
Shifting down a gear: The suggested gear appears to the left of
the current gear when a lower gear is recommended.
Gears may ocassionally be skipped (3 > 5).
If no gear change is recommended, you are already in the most
economical gear.
Note
The gear-change indicator is intended to help save fuel. It is not
intended to recommend the right gear for all driving situations. For
example, the display may not recommend a gear change while you
are overtaking, driving up a steep gradient or towing a trailer.
The gear-change indicator goes out when you press the clutch
pedal.
Applies to vehicles: with on-board computer
