5-speed Manual Transmission

Shift Up/Shift Down Indicators

Either the Shift Up or Shift Down

indicator will light to show the best

time to shift to a higher or lower

gear. You can achieve the best fuel

economy by accelerating and

decelerating slowly, and shifting

when prompted by the Shift Up

indicator.

The Shift Down indicator prompts to

shift to a lower gear to keep speed in

a hilly road.

Road and traffic conditions may

require you to shift at times other

than those indicated.

Engine Speed Limiter

If you exceed the maximum speed

for the gear you are in, the engine

speed will enter into the tachometer's

red zone. If this occurs, you may feel

the engine cut in and out. This is

caused by a limiter in the engine's

computer controls. The engine will

run normally when you reduce the

RPM below the red zone.

Before downshifting, make sure the

engine will not go into the

tachometer's red zone.
