Use the up-shift indicator when driving as follows: If the maximum engine speed is desired, set the figure at 7,000 rpm. (The indicator starts flashing from about 6,500 rpm and comes on steady at 7,000 rpm.) 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.) SSD0432 Up-shift indicator The manual transmission up-shift indicator is located in the meter and shows the driver the timing to shift into a higher gear by illuminating. The use of the upshift 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. 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 7,900 rpm. There may be a slight difference between the timing of the up-shift indicator illumination and the tachometer indication. SSD0433 Up-shift indicator setting: The desired engine speed (rpm) for the up-shift indicator can be set while the upshift indicator setting mode is selected. Change the display to the up-shift indicator mode by pushing the trip odometer 1 reset switch k. When the up-shift indicator setting mode is selected, the engine speed currently set is displayed. (The initial factory setting is 8,000 rpm.) The figure can be changed between 2,000 and 8,000 rpm. Starting and driving 5-17
