Always use care to change the gear with the vehicle speed
matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel
economy and prolong engine life.
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may cause excessive
engine speed (the tachometer needle into the red zone) and
damage the engine.
NOTE
●
The gearshift indicator (if so equipped) shows recom-
mended gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It
shows a “ ” when an upshift is recommended, and it
shows a “ ” when a downshift is recommended.
