Shift Light

I don't know if my memory serves me right, but I remember when I was watching many videos since October on this truck, I came across a video that shows a shift light located near the windshield of the truck so as to make a reflection on the windshield to show the driver when to shift in sport mode!
Can anyone confirm?

Shift light consists of Green Yellow and Red LED Bars!

 

I've seen some other posts here that confirm there is a shift light as well seen some reviews that point it.

I can confirm Saturday morning when i get mine.

 

Noooooo, don't do it without at meant 500 miles. Ok, your truck, but I wouldn't.

 

For some reason I thought the shift light only comes on raptors with the tech package, being that those lights flash red for the automatic breaking procedures.

 

Vikes, What's in your coffee this morning?

You got your truck already, are there shift lifts??????

I'm just saying that i believe they are there and could confirm if they are in did there or not when i pick up my truck this weekend.

 

I do have my truck, but can't say I see the lights. And today is not a good day to play on the road. I've also not used the paddles. As stated before, I think they are just a novelty.

I was just saying don't go beat on it as soon as you pick it up. Wasn't trying to stir anything up. Proper break in is all.

 

Thanks man, please do

 

@Rapere1 Picked up your truck?

 

Yes, picked it up Saturday morning and been having a blast with!!!!!!

Yes, there's multiple led's up on the dash by the windshield that reflect back. It may depend on what package as i have both the 802a and tech package.

I haven't played yet much with manual shifting but they did come one with a collision warning (God Damn Prius).

More to come!!

 

I do not have the tech package (wife's explorer does and I don't care for most of it) so no lights on the dash. Today I ran it to red line manual sport and didn't see a shift light. So maybe the tech package had it.

So along that note, I also tried it on the Explorer and it doesn't have a shift light. I know that's apples to oranges but thought I'd throw it out there.

 

Would you mind throwing in a picture of the LEDS?

Appreciated!!!

 

I don't have a definitive answer for you all!!!!

I tried out the manual mode today while in Mud/Snow mode and ran it all the way to red line and never got the shift light. That said, it may depend on what mode you're in.

So, what i do know is that there's an LED light bar in the the dash and it comes on in case of collision. Good damn Prius's in Santa Fe!!!! Additionally this works intuitively based on speed, accelerating/decelerating and distance. With That said it's a little hard to get a picture for you all.

I would further describe it as 10 plus red led's built flush into the dash and when they light up it reflects off the windshield back to you. There's no mistaking it!!!!!!

Last, if i find a shift light i'll respond further but take a moment to think it through..... If you need a shift light for optimum shifting which will be based most likely on economy, then why aren't you using the Automatic? What i did find is in Mud/Snow mode and in Manual trans, it lets you go to red line. If your not downshifting as you slow down it will for you.

Hope this helps.......

 

Here's what the LED's look like on the dash.

I haven't seen them come on as a shift light yet but have as a collision warning!!!!!

 

I think that solves that mystery. Technology package CWS. Interesting.
