5-speed Manual Transmission

Recommended Shift Points

Drive in the highest gear that lets
the engine run and accelerate
smoothly. This will give you the
best fuel economy and effective
emissions control. The following
shift points are recommended:

The VX and CX models in the U.S.
(except in California) and the VX
model in Canada have an Upshift
Indicator (see page 

35

).

Use this indicator to help deter-
mine the shift points for best fuel
economy.

(US: DX, Si, Canada: CX, DX, Si)

Maximum Speeds

The speeds in this table are the
maximums for the given gears. If
you exceed these speeds, 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.
