<p>In order to make it easier for a driver in a vehicle 1 having a manual gearbox 10 to adopt an economical driving style, the vehicle is provided with a processor 100 which determines optimum gearshift points to maximise the fuel economy of the vehicle 1. The processor 100 monitors the currently selected gear and determines when a gearshift is appropriate. If a gearshift is appropriate. an active gear shift prompt is provided to the driver by modifying the relationship between an accelerator pedal and the output torque of the engine and/or feeding a haptic signal through a control member 30 of the vehicle.</p> |
