Gear shift indicator*
The gear shift indicator notifies the driver
when it is appropriate to engage the next
higher or lower gear in order to obtain the
lowest possible fuel consumption.
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
to change gear in plenty of time.
An indicator is available as an aid on certain
variants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which
notifies the driver when it is appropriate to
engage the next higher or lower gear in order
to obtain the lowest possible fuel consump-
tion. However, taking into consideration cha-
racteristics such as performance and vibra-
tion-free running, it may be advantageous to
change gear at a higher engine speed. The
framed number indicates the current gear.
