Manual models feature a ‘Shift Indicator Light’ or SIL which appears in the center of the rev counter. ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ are displayed to advise the driver of the optimum point (in terms of best fuel economy) at which to change gear; Honda tests have demonstrated fuel savings of as much as 5 per cent simply by following these commands.
Maximum allowable speeds in each gear (otherwise enter 'red' zone):
1st: 56 km/h
2nd: 97 km/h
3rd: 135 km/h
4th: 179 km/h
5th: 221 km/h
6th: They dont have a 6th either!
