Your manual transaxle
Oldsmobile has an
up
shift
light. This light will show
you
when to shift
to
the
next highest gear for best
fuel economy.
When this light comes on, you can shift to the next
highest gear if weather, road and traffic conditions let
you.
For
the best fuel economy, accelerate slowly and
shift when the light comes on.
While you accelerate, it is normal for the light to
go
on
and
off
if
you
quickly change the position
of
the
accelerator. Ignore the shift light when you downshift.
