Upshift light (if equipped)
The light in the instrument
cluster illuminates to indicate
when to shift for the best fuel
economy. The vehicle will not be
harmed if the transaxle is not
shifted when the light illuminates,
but the vehicle will use more fuel.
The
light can be ignored when
you are:
• downshifting
• driving on steep hills
• using the engine to brake the
vehicle
• seeking more power for a
difficult acceleration
To maximize gearshift
