Hello Everyone,

Currently have a RC350 Fsport...and still trying to get used to the technology that it comes in this car.

So, when ever I'm either in Fsport/Sport+ mode, and I accelerate, (floor the accelerator) the rev indicator turns red. Which tells me that the car has reached a set speed.

Is this bad for the engine when the tachometer turns red? It's hard not to help and push the car on the highway alot

Would i have to use the paddle shift and put it in manual mode to avoid having this from happening.

Thank you

 

This isn't necessarily bad for the car, the thing it's mainly going to effect driving this way is your fuel mileage. If you put the car in manual mode it will still shift once is reaches redline, and the only was to stop it from doing this is hold down the traction control button while sitting still until the trac off light comes on next to the speedometer. The car will now not automatically shift to the next gear when it reaches the redline and the needle will bounce off the rev limiter until you shift up. This is something I would definitely say is not good to repeatedly do to any car.
