1200 Mile Service
someone told me the Amber/red RPM gauge lights are removed during the 1200 mile service. Is this true?
A side note, the transmission lunged the car forward after driving off from the dealer. The car sounds more raw afterwards. What was everyone's impression after the service? |

Not true. The lights show you when to up shift. They lit up, from yellow to red. It's a permanent feature.

Car behaved the same after 1200 mile break in service as it did from day one. It is highly likely that your driving demeanor has changed.

My dealer said to be diligent in keeping the RPMs below 5500 for first 1200 miles, so no myth perpetuation there. However, they are guilty of perpetuating the myth among dealers that the Michelin PSS tires on the car are run flats!
