RAW newbie Q

Kind Folk,
More or less on impulse, I just bought a (base) 5dr/5sp 00 9-3 (program car at 29K for $13K). The A/C on my 92 Mazda 323 SE finally died. Hated the thought of buying a "new" new car. Wanted to move to four doors but stay in a hatchback. Decided to try something different.
This is *real* different. My other cars are 86 Ranger (power nothing, 4cyl carbed 2.0L), 76 MGB roadster, 74 BGT (hatchback!). So, my little head is spinning with all this doodaddery.
Anyhow, what's the deal with the "shift up" light? It seems to come on around 2K. Car sure doesn't sound like it needs to be upshifted. I'm used to flogging my Bs at around 3-3.5K.
If this the wrong sort of question for here, or there's somewhere I should be looking before posting, please be kind in telling me so. If not, I may plague the board with further ignorance <g>.
Thanks!!! - Tom
