your HUD has a shift light built into it. Go to the screen that shows the force on the car. It should come up as you get close to the line

First time I saw changing light colors and the moving

in the top of the HUD I got out the Owners Manual:

"Vehicles equipped with a Head-Up Display (HUD) may also have shift timing lights across the top of the display.
As you approach a shift point, the rows of lights grow closer together. The transmission should be shifted before
the lights come together in the middle of the display.
If the lights begin flashing, you have exceeded the shift point. Shift immediately."

It is nice having that up in the windshield directly in line-of-sight so do not have to look away from the road.

What's the display look like? I don't think I have it.

put your HUD to the screen with the force meter. it should show up around 4.5k to 5k rpms

While youre at it get the oil pump haha. Or just keep your warranty. The car is plenty at the track... Tbh, I shouldnt have done the cam until I was more experienced, but oh well.

Use the speedhut light its easy to install and can be moved from car to car with no effort, plus you can program launch, and different RPM setting for each gear
