Default HUD question

Can someone tell me how I can get the upshift light to work in my 2000 Coupe? I just installed the HUD this past spring and now I hear this option is available. It doesn seem to work for me and I was wondering if it needs to be enabled or something?
Thanks

It only works near redline, not when you think it might be a good idea.

And, it will say "SHIFT!"

If you are watching the HUD speedo the SHIFT indicator will start flashing about 5 mph before the car hits the rev limiter. In my 03Z it starts flashing at about 98 mph in third gear and the rev limiter cuts in at 102 to 103 mph. On a standard C5 it would start flashing at about 105 in third. Not sure where it starts flashing in the lower gears since the car gets to the rev limiter so fast in those gears.

Any opinions at what RPM one should shift to have the fastest 1/4 times on a stock c5 with m6?

I would say approx 2000 to 3000 before redline or so.
