Default Tachometer questions

One, when the display is in track mode, there are times when I see a row of small green dots on a horizontal line above the tachometer. Also when in sport mode, at WOT shift, (A8), there is a temporary blue line which quickly goes away. What is it's function?

The green lights inTrack mode are shift lights. If you continue to accelerate without shifting you will get two green, then three green then yellow then red.

<p>The temporary blue line shows you what the RPMs were when you shifted.</p>

Thanks for the replies, some information I just can't find in the owners manual. I hope the Helms Service Manuals are available soon.
