How to Change The Display
Pressing the odo/trip meter switch toggles the display mode in the following order.
The odo/trip meter display mode toggling and trip display resetting can be identified by the time elapsed
from pressing the odo/trip meter switch to releasing it.
When resetting with “trip A” displayed, only “trip A” is reset. (The “trip B” functions in the same way.)
NOTE:
The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter is
erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
ILLUMINATION CONTROL
Daytime Mode
When ignition switch is turned ON, combination meter and triple meter illumination is turned ON by unified
meter control unit.
Nighttime Mode
Unified meter control unit is transferred to nighttime mode, with ignition switch turned ON and position
light request signal from BCM with CAN communication.
When in nighttime mode, trip computer switch, and illumination control switch illumination turns ON by
unified meter control unit. Each illumination is controlled by unified meter control unit.
Each illumination can be adjusted to 16 step by illumination con-
trol switch in nighttime mode.
NOTE:
For further details of illumination circuit, refer to LT- 1 5 6 , "
ILLUMINA-
TION" .

SHIFT-UP INDICATOR
Shift-up indicator can be used when shifting up at a constant
engine speed from any gear while driving. It becomes a guide
for shift-up timing.
Shift-up indicator flashes approximately 500 rpm before reach-
ing the engine speed set. It illuminates when reaching the
engine speed set.
Shift-up engine speed can be set by the shift-up indicator setting
mode on trip computer. Refer to DI-29, "
Shift-up Indicator Setting
Mode" .
NOTE:
There may be a time lag between the shift-up indicator illumina-
tion and the tachometer indication.
If the battery cable is disconnected, the set engine speed becomes 7,000 rpm.

Stopwatch
Trip computer displays stopwatch.
NOTE:
After 100 hours, the time will start from the reset display again.
Even if the display is switched to the other mode while the time is starting, the stopwatch continues to
advance until the time in the stopwatch mode is stopped.
When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the stopwatch is reset.

UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMPPFP:27760
System DescriptionNKS0006X
DESCRIPTION
For the unified meter and A/C amp., the signal required for con-
trolling the combination meter and triple meter are integrated in
the A/C auto amp.
Unified meter and A/C amp. corresponds a CONSULT-III func-
tion (self-diagnosis results, CAN diagnosis support monitor and
data monitor).
COMBINATION METER CONTROL FUNCTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. receives necessary information for combination meter from each unit.
Unified meter and A/C amp. converses with the combination meter transmits a signal through with com-
munication line (TX, RX) between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
Input/output signals between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
NOTE:
Combination meter performs fail-safe operation when unified meter and A/C amp. communication is malfunctioning. Refer to DI-7,
"FAIL-SAFE" .
