Parking Brake - Toyota Celica 1997 Owner's Manual

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 exces-
sive engine wear and high fuel consump-
tion.
Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower traf-
fic, maximum acceleration may be neces-
sary. Make sure you observe the following
maximum allowable speeds in each gear:
7A-FE engine
gear km/h
1 56
2 93
3 134
4 182
5S-FE engine
gear km/h
1 51
2 85
3 126
4 162
NOTICE
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower gear.

tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use the fifth gear.
