! Maximum allowable speeds
The following table shows the maximum
speeds that are possible with each differ-
ent gear. The tachometer s needle will
enter the red area if these speeds are
exceeded.

acceleration is required, the vehicle

needle inside the red area. Failure to
observe this precaution can lead to
excessive engine wear and poor fuel
economy.
