and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
There are times when the engine
speed that is displayed may differ
even when vehicle operation and
driving conditions are the same.

the new gear number appearing
on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly
an accident resulting in death or
