Parking Brake - Toyota Celica 2000 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
2 92
3 126
4 171 (106)
6- speed
gear km/h (mph)

2 93

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