This doesn't really matter for the auto tranny drivers however, i find this very useful for MT drivers because our engine is soo damn quiet that sometimes i tend to forget to shift up to the next gear. I set mine to come on at 3300rpm. How about you?

i set my tech to 3000rpm (optimal shift point between acceleration and fuel consumption) and speedo to 120km/h

When the corner of my eye catches either ring light up, it's either time to shift or slow down.

same steps when you changed your speedo setting but this time choose rpm setting.

BTW back to topic. Mine was factory set at 5500rpm but I changed it to 4500rpm, and speedo setting from 80 to 70mph.
