Cycle through the info screen on the left and find shift light or something like that. Select it and use the proper button to chnage the rpm when the light comes on. Just try it, its easy.

It really is simple once you get the hang of it...here is the info from the Owners Manual:
Setting Setting cannot be made while driving. A message “Setting can only be operated when stopped” is also displayed on the vehicle information display. The switch *A and switch *B are used in the setting mode to select and decide a menu. SKIP: Push the switch *A to move to the warning check mode. Push the switch*B to select other menus. ALERT: Alert menu can be set to notify the following items. . UPSHIFT Select this submenu to set the engine speed (RPM) of the upshift indicator. (See “Upshift indicator (if so equipped for Manual Transmission models)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.) Just use the "B" button and scroll up or down to the RPM you want the lite to activate...I think the default is 7000.

WHat do you all have it set to? I put mine to 7000 recently. I think default is 7500 but by then it's probably too late and the limiter kicks in. Am I wrong about this?

Yeah I did the same... By the time you see that light blinking in the corner of your eye you don't have much time when it's set at 7500. I changed mine to 7000 and I like it there. But then again, I hardly take it all the way up to 7000 except getting on highways.

7000 RPM's is the best setting in my opinion. As previuosly stated at 7500 it is too late, and any earlier and it is just annoying.

Odd. I don't remember ever changing mine but looking at a video where I am accelerating it activated just after I got past 7000 RPM (like 7100 RPM) so I would guess it was set to 7000 and no 7500. Odd!

I set mine at 2500 RPMs, so it feels like I'm red-lining in city traffic.
