쐌 Fully depress the clutch pedal before
shifting to help prevent transmission
damage.
쐌 Stop your vehicle completely before
shifting into R (Reverse).
쐌 When the vehicle is stopped with the
engine running (for example, at a
stop light), shift to N (Neutral) and
release the clutch pedal with the foot
brake applied.
Up-shift indicator
The manual transmission up-shift indicator is
located in the tachometer and shows the driver
the timing to shift into a higher gear by illuminat-
ing. The use of the up-shift indicator will help you
to upshift at a constant engine speed (rpm) from
any gear.
The up-shift indicator will start flashing when the
engine speed is within about 500 rpm of the set
figure while driving, and then illuminate after the
engine speed reaches the set figure.
The engine speed in revolutions per minute
(rpm) for upshifting can be set on the trip
computer display. See “Trip computer” in the “2.
Instruments and controls” section for the display
setting information.
Use the up-shift indicator when driving as fol-
lows:
쐌 If the maximum engine speed is desired, set
the figure at 7,500 rpm. (The indicator starts
flashing from about 7,000 rpm and comes on
steady at 7,500 rpm.)
쐌 If the maximum engine torque is desired, set
the figure at 4,800 rpm. (The indicator starts
flashing from about 4,300 rpm and comes on
steady at 4,800 rpm.)
쐌 If you want to break in your vehicle, use of the
up-shift indicator with a rather low figure will
help you to avoid the high engine speed.
To make the up-shift indicator not come on, set
the figure at above 8,100 rpm.
There may be a slight difference between
the timing of the up-shift indicator illumi-
nation and the tachometer indication.
