Starting and operating

Maximum allowable speeds

The following table shows the maximum speeds that

are possible with each different gear.

Never exceed the speed limit below for each gear po-

sition except for brief acceleration in an emergency.

The tachometer's needle (if so equipped) will enter the

red area if these speeds are exceeded. Failure to ob-

serve this precaution can lead to excessive engine

wear and poor fuel economy.

When shifting down a gear, ensure that the ve-

hicle is not travelling at a speed exceeding the

Maximum Allowable Speed for the gear which

is about to be selected. Failure to observe this

precaution can lead to engine over-revving and

this in turn can result in engine damage.
