F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

When driving at the highest gear, it can
make engine run stably and accelerate. It
can not only save fuel furthest, but also
control exhaust emission most effectively.
We commend the gear point as following:
Up shifting The speed when
shifting gear
1 gear→2 gear
2 gear→3 gear
3 gear→4 gear
4 gear→5 gear
25 km/h
40 km/h
65 km/h
80 km/h
Max. permissible speed
These speeds correspond to max.
permissible speed of every gear. If exceed
these speeds, the engine speed display will
enter into red area of tachometer. If this
happens, you will feel the engine running
intermittently, this is caused by safety
governor in the ECU control device of
engine. When you let the RPM (r/m) reduce
below red area, the engine will recover
normal running.
Before downshifting, you need to ensure the
speed can not exceed the max. permissible
speed of lower gear (see right table), and to
avoid damaging the engine.
