Dunno whether this\'ll come out legibly or not. It\'s the page from the owners\' manual where it mentions the "shift" buzzer, and it doesn\'t really say what it\'s for, just says it happens at around 7,400 rpm on manuals and 6,900 rpm on autos.
 
It does however call it the "Engine overrevolution (RED LINE) warning buzzer" (sic) which is a very grandiose title. Also makes it sound like A Bad Thing To Hear, since it\'s under the box that says "Dont run the tachometer needle into the RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage."
 
Got to remember, these guidelines are designed with dense Americans and product liabiltiy in mind. All manufacturers build in comfort zones on engine thresholds. Use the extra bit of revs once in a while to avoid having to change gear mid-corner, but don\'t hit them regularly when annihilating victims off the lights. It\'s just like overrevving a two stroke, it\'s not like there are heavy valve trains to tangle or cam bearings to overheat. But it\'s also not like you\'re making any significant power by then, either.
