Fuel economy

In order to improve fuel economy, we recommend that you shift gears when the system prompts you to do so.

This will help you to reduce fuel consumption without strongly affecting vehicle performance. Recommended gearshifts do not involve downshifting.

The system will indicate when you should shift gears by displaying a small arrow next to the gear displayed.

This arrow illuminates just before reaching the speed required for gearshifting.

When the recommended gear has been selected, the indicator goes off. If the recommended gearshift is delayed or not performed, the indicator will remain illuminated for a few seconds and will then go off. As soon as the conditions requiring gearshifting are met, the indicator illuminates again, as described above.

The recommended gearshift indicator will only work when the gearbox is set to manual sequential operation.
