From the manual:
"To achieve the best possible acceleration in sequential mode when using a sporty driving style, the Shift Lights in the instrument cluster indicate the best shift point just before the maximum engine speed is reached."

I could still be wrong, I never drive in D mode. I just can't see why shift-prompting lights would illuminate in D mode when the transmission shifts by itself.
