Honda 2000 Civic Hatchback User Manual

5-speed Manual Transmission
Recommended Shift Points
Drive in the highest gear that lets
the engine run and accelerate
smoothly. This will give you the best
fuel economy and effective emis-
sions control. The following shift
points are recommended:
Engine Speed Limiter
On all models in the U.S., and CX model
in Canada
If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine's
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
engine speed by upshifting or
slowing down.
Before downshifting, make sure the
vehicle speed is low enough that you
will not activate the engine speed
limiter in the lower gear.
On DX model in Canada
If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, the engine
speed will enter into the tachometer's
red zone. If this occurs, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine's
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
RPM below the red zone.
Before downshifting, make sure the
engine will not go into the
tachometer's red zone in the lower
gear.
