what the shift points are? theyre whenever u decide to shift, its a stick

thelonerangers

tru, any insight about the cruise control and where i could pick up an owner's manual for the car. i'm fairly new to stick shift so thats y im askin bout the shift point thing.

a honda dealership. u dont know how cc works? u get up to the speed u wanna cruise at and press the button and it will stay there. when u touch the brake or clutch it will disengage. as for your shift points. REDLINE THAT BISH. na wait untill u know how to drive it first. doing city driving i shift between 3-4k

i tried that, ill b in 5th cruisin at like 40 ill push the cruise control button then ill hit the set button on the steering wheel and nothing will happen. never had cruise control before, would b interested in how it works.

Kyles ej1

y are in 5th gear at 40mph?

maybe something is disconnected

thelonerangers

well im slowing down while im fiddling wit the cruise control im jus tryin to get it to werk, thats not the norm when im in 5th.

what do the buttons on the steering wheel do? do i push them to set anything. theres two buttons one says resume acceleration and the other says set decel

try having your foot completely off the clutch? i let me foot gently rest on the clutch sometimes while i'm cruising, and i have to move my foot completely off for the cruise control to turn on.

the process is:
1) push 'cruise' button on the left so that the light turns green.
2) take foot off clutch, attain desired speed
3) press the 'set' button

then you can take your foot off the gas and press and hold the accel/decel buttons to fine tune your speed.

the clutch has to b down when i turn the cruise control on?

turn the cruise control button on near the window switch
I double tap one of the buttons on the wheel and the green light should come on in the bottom of the cluster

no, your foot has to be completely OFF the clutch. like i said, sometimes i accidentally rest my foot on the clutch and that is sensitive enough to disengage cruise control.

You can shift at 8200 if you like i think most people shift at like 4k when on the streets

I am not certain what your friend meant about the shift points as you can shift whenever like someone mentioned. I think he was probably referring to where each gear limits. In my car, stock ECU.

1st ~ 20mph
2nd ~ 61mph
3rd ~ 80mph
4th ~ 120mph
5th the rest of the way. Never limit 5th so I am not sure where.

8krdline

1st should be around 40
2nd gear vtec doesnt engage until 40mph

I think what your friend meant in regards to the shift points is what is the best way to get max. fuel economy. I remember my owner's manual having a "suggested" shift point chart detailing at what speed and RPM you should shift into the next gear. However, since I'm Canadian, I can offer you no help whatsoever coz my chart is in kms.

RudeBwaiSi

Yeah, my mistake 1st ~ 40mph. Thanks.

your 4th goes to 120? hmm i believe mine redlines at around 100...

hit the CC switch next to the guage cluster dimmer switch. the CC switch should light up green. then you have to be moving i think its atleast 35mph or something like that and when u reach ur desired speed, between the 2 buttons on the steering wheel for CC, hit the bottom one.
