Indicator Lights
Upshift Indicator
Only on U.S. VX and CX (except in
California) and Canadian VX models
The upshift indicator's purpose is
to help you get better fuel economy.
It does this by lighting to inform
you of the most economical point to
upshift your 5-speed transmission.
You get the best fuel economy by
driving in the highest gear practi-
cal for your road speed, and by
using light to moderate pressure on
the accelerator pedal. When you
are accelerating moderately, the
upshift indicator will light when it
is the best time to shift to the next
higher gear. By shifting as soon as
the light comes on, you will keep
the engine operating in its most
economical range. The upshift
indicator will then go out until it is
time to upshift again.
Some road or traffic conditions
may require you to accelerate more
rapidly or press the accelerator
pedal almost to the floor. The light
will not come on under those
conditions.
