Gear shift indicator*
The gear shift indicator notifies the driver when it is appropriate to engage the next higher or lower gear.
An essential detail in connection with environmental driving is to drive in the right gear and to change gear in plenty of time.
An indicator is available as an aid on some 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 consumption.
However, taking into consideration characteristics such as performance and vibration-free running, it may be advantageous to change gear at a higher engine speed. The framed number indicates the current gear.
