When you are not shifting, do not rest your
foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your
clutch to wear out faster.

Recommended Shift Points
Driving in the highest gear that allows the engine to
run and accelerate smoothly helps to optimize fuel
economy and effective emissions control. The
following shift points are recommended:
Shift Up Normal Acceleration
1st to 2nd 16 mph (25 km/h)
2nd to 3rd 26 mph (42 km/h)
3rd to 4th 35 mph (56 km/h)
4th to 5th 41 mph (66 km/h)
5th to 6th 43 mph (69 km/h)
If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you
are in, the engine speed will enter into the
tachometer's red zone. When this happens, you may
experience a slight jolt.
