in any manual tranny car that is the shift point that is optimal for however your driving style at the current time is.

Thats the shift light, it comes on to tell you when to upshift for best fuel economy. Thats it.

If youre car is Canadian, has had the IPC replaced or possible if it was tuned(not sure if any tuning software can adjust it) IT WONT COME ON.
