Hi, I have recently changed from a 265 cup to a 275 cup-s and one thing that I find a little irritating is that, in the 265 cup the shift change light only ever flashed on just before the limiter cut in. In the 275, the shift change light comes on for both up and down changes and it comes on at 2 and 3k rpm, basically it is lighting up for economical driving and gear changes. Is there anyway to disable this, or turn it off even via the RSMonitor?
Not got one on my old 225 but did find this http://rsmegane.com/threads/gear-change-indicator-and-beep.360/ which seems to say it's changeable only if you have the RSMonitor, otherwise it's Preset
my 275 Cup-S also behaves the same. I don't have RS Monitor and am sure therefore it's set that way, and just the beep 500 rpm before redline.
Unless I've missed something for the last year and half, there is no shift light on a 275. There is a 'best gear' indicator light (both up and down) which is intended as you say for economy, and I know this as it works exactly the same as the wife's Clio dci which is obviously tuned towards efficiency. TBH, the beep is pointless, as on WOT you hit the limiter just as you've registered the beep so it doesn't stop you hitting the limiter. The engine note gives no notice of the impending limit.
Yes this is what I mean....the economical gear change up and down light....is there any way to disable that?
Yeah. I think this just start with a copy of the boggo Megane software and only remove things they absolutely have too. To be honest, when 'on it', I'm usually watching the road too much to even notice the lights, which is the point of the beep entirely I guess. You could always stick a bit of black tape over the lights mate....
It's so that potential buyers can impress their wives during the test drive: "Oh darling, just look how economical this hatchback is!"
