 Audi A6, A6 hybrid, S6   Controls  Driver information system
Applies to vehicles: with manual gearbox and gear-change indicator
This additional indicator function can help to save fuel.
You can activate and deactivate the gear-change indicator via the infotainment system.
Switching the gear-change indicator on and off
Select: Function selector button CAR > control button (Car)* Systems > Driver assist > Gear recommendation.
To familiarise yourself with the gear-change indicator, we recommend 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. The gear you are currently in and the recommended gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster Fig. 1.
  • 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 occasionally be skipped (3 > 5). If no gear change is recommended, you are already in the most economical 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).
Note
  • The gear-change indicator in the instrument cluster goes out when you press the clutch pedal.
  • If you set the drive select function to efficiency* mode, E will appear next to the gear-change indicator Fig. 1.
