Performance shift indicator
Your vehicle is equipped with a programmable performance shift
indicator. When activated, this feature provides a visual (SHIFTLAMP)
and/or audible (SHIFTTONE) cue to shift to the next highest gear at an
engine rpm specified by the driver.
The SHIFTLAMP feature uses the SVT logo on the tachometer to notify
you when the desired shiftpoint is reached. The SVT symbol is backlit in
red under normal driving conditions (SHIFTLAMP OFF). When the
SHIFTLAMP is set to ON, the red backlighting is turned off and the SVT
logo will turn bright orange when the desired shift point is reached.
The SHIFTTONE feature uses an audible tone to notify you when the
desired shiftpoint is reached.
SHIFTLAMP and SHIFTTONE can be used separately, together, or
turned off completely.
To use the performance shift indicator feature,first bring the vehicle
to a complete stopthen use the message center controls as follows:
Note:The vehicle’s headlamps or park lamps must be on to
perform/check light functions.

). The upshift indicator will still
illuminate when it is best to shift to the next highest gear to maximize
fuel economy regardless of the performance shift indicator settings.
Unique instrument cluster lighting
Your vehicle is equipped with a unique instrument cluster color display.
In place of orange, you can select R-W-B which will illuminate the
speedometer in red, the Fuel/Boost/Temp/Oil pressure gauges in white
and the tachometer in blue. Pointer colors are not adjustable.
The instrument cluster will momentarily display the R-W-B coloring when
the ignition is turned to on or start and will then return to the previously
chosen color.
For instructions on how to set the instrument cluster display color or
