Tach lighting up at redline

OK, I have searched the threads and my owners manual before posting this but so far nothing. I have seen a couple Utube postings where the tach lights up as the vehicle is approaching redline. Is this something all C Class models can do or only certain models. I have searched through my menus on the car and can't find anything either. Anyone know the details on this.

Can you post an example? Could it be the AMG menu:

AMG* menu


You will find an overview of the menus on more. Operating the on-board computer more.

Use the buttons on the luxury multi-function steering wheel.
Press the or button to select the AMG menu.

Additional speedometer Gear indicator Upshift instruction Engine oil temperature Coolant temperature Shift UP instruction indicates that the engine has reached the overrevving range. Shift UP instruction blocks other messages in the multi-function display until you have shifted up.
