It's the electronic rev-limiter. The limit increases as your engine temperature increases... It's to better protect the engine whilst it's cold

Just curious - is this just an indicator which advises the driver not to exceed the RPM, or does the rev limiter actually prevent the engine from overreving based on engine temperature?

Sorry, I should have read the whole thread before I posted. Looks like the answer is posted upthread. Thanks.
