HUD Shift Light Working or not working?
In screen 4 I believe on the HUD you have the shift light indicator that is supposed to come on after 3200 rpm. Well it seems to be working in first gear but not other gears. I havnt wound it out ( still in break in) but shouldn't it come on after 3200 in every gear?

Mine comes on only in 1st gear. 2nd-4 up to 4k rpm does not turn on the shift light. Anyone have this issue?

I think the higher the gear, the higher the rpms before the lights come in since it takes longer to reach the shift point. Just speculating from what I've seen so far.

I havnt see the shift light at all. But I usually shift before 3200 rpm. On another note, the car just started making me doing skip shift, I didnt know it was on the ZL1.

Quote:
ZL1 vehicles equipped with a Head-Up Display (HUD) 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. If you feel like you may be experiencing an issue, it would be best to get a proper diagnosis at a dealership. Brandon Chevrolet Customer Service

Awesome! Thanks. That's the answer I was hoping for. I've been good during break in so i was hoping it was an RPM thing. They advertise 3200RPM and above. I assumed it was different in each gear. This makes sense. Thanks again.
