This additional indicator function can help to save fuel.
To familiarise yourself with the gear-change indicator, drive 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. If no gear change is recommended, you are already in the most economical gear.
The display is only visible in tiptronic mode Link.
The symbol on the display Fig. 1 means change up a gear.
Caution!
The gear-change indicator is intended to help save fuel. It is not intended to recommend the right gear for all driving situations. In certain situations, only the driver can choose the correct gear (for instance when overtaking, driving up a steep gradient or towing a trailer).
