Hi all, just taken my manual N430 out again and noticed that the Gear Shift Indicator Display isn't showing the rev bars as per the owners manual says it should. Does anyone know if this is a custom setting (It does show 'R' when the car is put into reverse!)

cheers

Hi rallymaster123

If I remember correctly, the bars only light up when you are at the very top end of the rev band. I don’t think it’s a customisable set up. The only way to see if it works is to drive it hard and rev the nuts out of it......just make sure you have a clear road ahead! The “R” always shows when reverse gear is engaged. Hope that helps.

Best Regards

It only shows the bars close to the point where you need to shift up.

I've only seen them a few times and I was also pretty busy keeping my eyes on the road, enjoying the noise and giggling at my partner being pinned back in the passenger seat .... so there's a lot to take in when they light up very briefly

Great thanks both. Will give it a go

I never knew this, will have to keep an eye on the display next time!

I see mine quite regularly

Actually find them quite useful as they are more in your line of sight than the rev counter and it's always nice to just avoid the rev limiter and be rewarded with a crackle from the exhaust as you execute a perfect upshift
