just picked up a crx...tired of searching so i was wondering if anybody could provide me an answer...why's there a green arrow pointing forward on the dash or my 90 crx hf?

 

turns singal ? i dont even know what the hell ur talkin abt

 

its the upshift light., it tells you when to shift at the best rpm to save gas.

 

yes sir upshift light

 

^^^^^^ ^^^^^^

 

wow. i never heard of that, i wish i had an upshift light to tell me to shift. but god its fun to reach deep into rev's. sigh.

hahah what car is this... never heard of that before...

 

Is that only on the HF model cause I haven't seen them on any other model of crx before. Interesting though. Any pics u could provide?

The crx hf can get up to 55 mpg of gas, thats what the green light is for, it will tell you to shift to maximize fuel efficiency, as someone mentioned it was only avalible on the hf model. When i had it in my car it would tell me to shift, and eventually i learned to ignore the stupid thing.

 

Yes it's pretty cool having your car talk to you like that. But after a while you don't want to shift at 2300rpm anymore YOu gotta blow that D series right outta your chasis. j/k....i loved that little engine

I dont have that light on my 88 HF, but I know it's on the CX 92-95's for sure.

yeah i'll try to snap a picture for you guys

 

Yeah my 89 crx hf has it so im thinking maybe 89 and up have it. The real question is how do i turn that shift light on to make it tell me when im at 8400 rpms for shifting? Anyone ever try to do that?

DEF

 

MSD RPM switch?

 

you could be really RICEY and try and turn the cool shift light into a vtec light....
IMO you don't need a light to tell you your motor is going really fast....mmmmmm Vtec

 

Yeah the CX has it. I just bought my 92 CX today and test drove it yesterday. I didn't know what the light was, but had a pretty good idea. If anyone wants a pic, I can take one, but I don't know how to post pics so I could email someone to post the pic for me... if you all want to see it. It's just a green arrow that points up, the box it's in is outlines with white.

 

Damn HF's and their silly green light.

If your HF came from cali it didn't come with an upshift light.
Mine doesn't have one cause it came from cali originally. The owners manaul said that too.

My cx has the upshift light also but doesn't work anymore cause i'm not using the cx ecu anymore.

 

well now days ford focus's have them. Just one more thing ford copied.

 

I remember some old Oldsmobiles had them too.
