'06 Corolla_U (L/O 0508) 5−speed Gear 1 to 2 or 2 2 to 3 or 3 3 to 4 or 4 4 to 5 or 5 ∗1 : ∗2 : Maximum allowable speeds to to to to 1 2 3 4 km/h 24 37/40∗1 64/45∗2 72/64∗2 (mph) (15) (23/25∗1 ) (40/28∗2 ) (45/40∗2 ) To get on a highway or to pass slower traffic, maximum acceleration may be necessary. Make sure you observe the following maximum allowable speeds in each gear: 5−speed Gear 1 2 3 4 6−speed Gear 1 2 3 4 5 km/h (mph) 58 (36) 96 (60) 139 (87) 180 (111) km/h 64 99 137 174 210 (mph) (40) (61) (85) (108) (130) Good driving practice D If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put the transmission in neutral, release the clutch pedal momentarily, and then try again. Under cold engine conditions For constant −speed cruise or constant −speed cruise after deceleration 6−speed Gear 1 to 2 or 2 2 to 3 or 3 3 to 4 or 4 4 to 5 or 5 5 to 6 or 6 km/h 24 40 64 72 80 (mph) (15) (25) (40) (45) (50) D When towing a trailer, in order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use fifth gear (5−speed models) or sixth gear (6−speed models). to to to to to 1 2 3 4 5 CAUTION Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting could cause the vehicle to skid or spin. Downshift to the appropriate gear if acceleration is needed when you are cruising below the above downshifting speeds. Upshifting too soon or downshifting too late will cause lugging, and possibly pinging. Regularly revving the engine to maximum speed in each gear will cause excessive engine wear and high fuel consumption. NOTICE Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into reverse. NOTICE Do not downshift if you are going faster than the maximum allowable speed for the next lower gear. 119
