The Green Circle?
When driving in manual mode and accelerating in first gear, sometimes a thing green circle momentarily appears around the tachometer and then disappears. Can someone tell me what this indicates? I have scoured the owners manuals but to no avail.

That's exactly what shifts lights are, an indication of when to shift. So as you get higher in the RPM range it comes on green, then yellow/orange, then red. You'll see similar color patters on the HUD in Track Mode also. The car is perfectly fine going to redline, it's designed to. Obviously if you don't want to push that much there is no reason to, but don't be afraid of it.

Thanks for the explanation. I have noticed the same rings around my C7 Tach and was wondering exactly what they meant. Could not find it in the owner's manual.
