since you hae an 05, rev is the sound that is made when your in a higher gear. to make it simple, check under the hood ad remove the engine cover. once exposed, you'll see this:

you can set a pre-determined rpm for the light to come on using the button that resets the trip odometer, and the light will come on when you hit that rpm, letting you know to shift

But what does it staying at REV constantly mean, it doesn't ever change!

They want you to step on the gas more.

It doesn't mean anything, it is just a light that's always on... telling you to REV it up so that the real rev light underneath it will come on

There is a rectangular red LED under the word REV which is a shift light indicator. You set the RPM to set the indicator by holding the trip reset button. By holding it for like 2-5 seconds, a number will start flashing. You push the reset button to change the number to whatever you want, typically where you would normally shift. Once set, the red LED under the REV word will start flashing about 300-500 RPM before your set limit. Once the limit is reached, the LED will stay solid red.
