Changing the stock tach lights?

[Freakazoid]

Alright I remember seeing this posted months ago but can't find the thread now. Dont think it's in the manual (lots of stuff not in there though).

Anyways, people with the stock boost gauge, how do you adjust it, and what do the 3 buttons do?

obviously they move the rpms around, but without sitting and keeping my engine idling at 6000 rpms, anyone able to break it down real quick for me? (one turn = 50 rpms maybe?)

1 turn = 100rpms, I believe.

Not sure which way does which, I just adjusted mine between stoplights.

From the owners manual

The boost gage is also equipped with three pairs of lights that are located
on each side of the gage. These lights are used to indicate three different
engine rpm levels. The default setting for the lower pair of lights is 4,400
rpm, the middle pair of lights is 5,600 rpm, and the top pair of lights is
6,200 rpm. These settings can be adjusted by turning the stem behind each
light. To have the light pair come on at a higher rpm level, turn the stem
counterclockwise. To have the light pair come on at a lower rpm level, turn
the stem clockwise. Each turn adjusts the settings by 100 rpm. To restore
the default settings, press and hold any stem for three seconds. The lights
will flash three times.

To turn the lights off or on, press and release any stem

they are 100rpm each turn. clockwise increases, and counter clockwise decreases.

if you press and hold one of the buttons it resets all 3 of them. defaults are 4.400rpm, 5,600rpm, 6,200rpm.

if you press one of them it will turn it off

I don't remember the page number, but I had trouble finding it also. So, I wrote Saturn when I got mine and they sent me the info.

I know it is in the 05 manual, but if I remember correctly, not in the 04 manual. For obvious reasons.
