Shift Lights

In S-Mode, optimum shift points are indicated by LED's integrated into the tachometer. As the tachometer approaches redline, a sequence of LED's illuminate on the face of the gauge. As the tach reaches the optimal shift point the final LED illuminates. This red LED indicates the optimal shift point. See Fig 1 .
