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.
If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, you may feel

slowing down.
Before downshifting, make sure the
car speed is low enough that you will
not activate the engine speed limiter
in the lower gear.
