Default Gauge Lights

On my speedometer, every now and then a green light will light up that almost looks like a G, so I'm wondering if someone has a list of what all the lights on the speedometer mean. Most I think I can figure out, but this one has me stumped. I can't seem to find it anywhere either. Thanks.

It is actually a 6, for indicating you are in top gear.

Its a 6th gear indicator? Then something is wrong because I know I am not in 6th gear going 30 around town.

I can't think of anything else that resembles a green G but I have an 07 and things could be changed. Check your owner's manual, it shows the location of all the warning lights. I don't know about your tuner but the TMax lets you change the final drive ratio number in case the 6 gear light won't work after some drivetrain mods.

It means: G0 Faster!. But I'm just guessing.

It's the 6th gear indicator. The system works by calculating engine rpm and rear wheel speed to assume that you are in 6th gear and turn on the light. There may be times, especially when downshifting, that those rpm's match and the light comes on, only momentarily though.

That makes sense...I thought I've seen it flash out of the corner of my eye
