■Rev Peak
An afterimage of the tachometer needle at the highest engine speed attained prior
to an upshift or deceleration will be retained for approximately 0.5 seconds. This
function simulates the “telltale needle” used in traditional analog racing tachometers to
help the driver time their upshifts and check over-revs on downshifting etc.
The Rev Peak function can be turned on or off from “Settings” on the menu display.
The color of the tachometer needle afterimage will change in accordance with that of
the actual tachometer needle.

■Washing the vehicle
To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and components (wheels
etc.), wash the vehicle immediately if it becomes dirty. Hand washing is recommended
to preserve the paint finish.
1 Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle body, wheel wells
and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.
2 Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a chamois.
3 For hard-to-remove marks, use a neutral detergent and rinse thoroughly with
water.
4 Wipe away any water.
