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

ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-
cessive engine wear and high
consumption.

essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
