Parking Brake - Toyota Celica 2001 Operating Manual

Downshift to the appropriate gear if accel-
eration is needed when you are cruising
below the above downshifting speeds.
Upshifting too soon or downshifting too
late will cause lugging, and possibly ping-
ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-
cessive engine wear and high
consumption.
Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
gear:
5–speed
gear km/h (mph)
1 56 (35)
2 92 (57)
3 126 (78)
4 171 (106)
6–speed
gear km/h (mph)
1 60 (37)
2 93 (58)
3 128 (80)
4 163 (101)
5 208 (129)

Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower gear.

If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.

When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth (5–speed models) or sixth
gear (6–speed models).
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.
NOTICE
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
