7 speed auto question (Rev flashing)

Flyboy9x · 06-23-2016, 01:44 PM

It seems as though if I push down on the accelerator pedal I can easily red line the RPMs. The red Rev light flashes and I usually let off the pedal to down shift. Is this normal?

If you push the pedal to the floor, the car assumes you want to accelerate as fast as possible and revs to the red line before shifting. Don't push the pedal so far if you want it to shift sooner.

Use the paddle shifters if you want to control shift points. Otherwise, the car is giving you delayed responses based entirely on your throttle input.

The flashing light is just a shift indicator. You can set the light to flash at any RPM you want (in 500 RPM increments) in the settings found in the left gauge on the dash cluster.
