They control the upshift light I believe.  Basically any time the RPMs are over a set point and it isn't at WOT or idle it'll turn a light on to tell you to shift up.

Ah the wonderful things they decided we needed in the '80s...

The mask and the shot(s) are actually an IQ test. If you are wearing or circulating, you just failed the test. I can't feel sorry for you.
