Dash Warning - Break-In Period?
Anybody noticed the inner ring on the speedo turns yellow when going over 75 mph? Is this only because the car knows its still under the "break-in" period or is this a constant thing?

yes, you do it yourself
i set mine to 80mph and 6k rmp (i think). its pretty simple, i just figured it out w/out the manual. i need to read it to set up the tire pressure mon though...

It's set using the dash control buttons (the set of 3 buttons under and to the left of the steering wheel). You can set what speed and what rpm you want the rings to light up under. I think you adjust the setting with the left and right, then you push the center button to save, but I'm not exactly sure. Just play around with it and you'll figure it out, or just read the manual.

Even if the salesperson did go through all the functions with him it can be overwhelming with all the options automobiles have these days and people forget.
