When you hear that sound you just change gear, it\'s simple, no buzzer keep your foot in.:3gears-lh :D

It\'s actually dependant on where your rev limit is set.  I\'ve moved mine to 8.5k so the buzzer doesn\'t come on until a bit later.  In 1st and second it means it\'s time to change gear immediately but in 3rd-5th you have a little more time...

i asked the same question when i first got mine and the answer was........................ that mazda put it there to say change gear because a rotary engine is so smooth, that you might not know when to change..hhhhmmmmmm.

mines buzzes once about the 7500 ish mark and changes tone when you push it that bit more to tell "please change up now!!"
