2013 NISSAN GT-R Multi Function Display Owners Manual

Displaying timeline of quick and sudden
acceleration and driving:
&1Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal will
result in a steep climbing line.
&2When the accelerator is being depressed quickly,
the angle of the line slopes upwards at a steep
angle.
&3Releasing the accelerator pedal quickly will result
in a pointed line
&4Here the accelerator is being depressed and
released repeatedly. The resulting line displayed
appears wavy. Repeatedly depressing and re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will result in a wavy
line.
BRAKING SCREEN
The braking screen displays the results of how
the vehicle behaves based on the manner in
which the driver operates the vehicle. The
information displayed is for confirmation pur-
poses. The results of how the brake pedal is
used are displayed as a timeline of g-force
exerted on the vehicle during deceleration. Use
the information to improve your operation of the
brake pedal.
WARNING
.Use the information from the multi
function meter strictly as a refer-
ence to make your driving more
comfortable. The readings are not
meant to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving or poor driving
conditions (due to weather, road
condition, etc.) . Always obey all
traffic regulations and posted speed
limits.
. Red zone readings are configured to
function only as a guide for smooth
driving. The readings are not in-
tended to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving.
How to view the screen
&1BRAKE G (timeline graph):
Displays the deceleration of the g-force being
exerted on the vehicle. The vertical readout
illustrates the progress of acceleration and the
horizontal readout tracks the deceleration time-
line of the past 20 seconds.
&2Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the level
of g-force exerted on the vehicle while decelerat-
ing exceeds a preset level.
&3G-meter:
Displays the g-force currently being exerted due
on the vehicle due to deceleration.
&4SPEED:
Displays the current driving speed.
&5BRAKE PEDAL:
Displays the brake pedal position.

INFO:
. The reading that the brake meter displays
when the pedal is being depressed may
vary, depending on the vehicle speed and
road conditions. The brake meter may not
display a reading of “100%” even when the
brake is being fully depressed. This is not a
malfunction.
. This panel only displays acceleration infor-
mation when the vehicle is decelerating. It
does not display any acceleration informa-
tion when the vehicle is accelerating.
. Due to the slope of a road, this meter may
register g-force even when the vehicle is
stopped. This is not a malfunction.
. When the VDC or the ABS is activated, a
mark will appear on the far left side of the
panel (large panel only) .
. The scale of the readout is adjusted auto-
matically to accommodate readings that
exceed the upper limit of the meter.Using result screens to improve
driving
INFO:
This section explains how to use the driving
timeline screens. Use this information to make
your driving smoother.
Timeline and driving that show smooth
operation of brake pedal:
&1Depressing the brake pedal slowly and smoothly
will result in a smoothly dropping line.
&2By gradually depressing the brake pedal, the
angle of the line slopes gently downwards.
&3Slowly releasing the brake pedal results in a
stable deceleration. The timeline display gradually
becomes a straight horizontal line.
&4When you release the brake pedal slowly, the line
of the braking panel slopes gently upwards.
Timeline and driving that show sudden
operation of brake pedal:
&1Because the brake pedal is being depressed
quickly, the angle of the line drops off at a steep
angle.
&2Quick application of the brake pedal results in a
steep dropping line.
&3When the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed
and released, the resulting line appears wavy.
&4Because the brake pedal was depressed quickly
the vehicle stopped abruptly. The graph becomes
perpendicular to the time scale.

STEERING SCREEN
The steering screen allows you to confirm how
the vehicle responds to your driving by display-
ing the results of how you operate the vehicle.
The results of your driving are displayed as a
timeline of the g-force exerted on the vehicle.
Use the displayed information to improve your
steering smoothness.

How to view screen
&1CORNERING G (timeline graph of lateral g-
force):
Displays the lateral g-force exerted on the
vehicle. The horizontal readout displays lateral
g-force while the vertical readout displays a
timeline of the past 20 seconds of driving. G-
force exerted on the vehicle when turning left is
displayed on the right side of the screen. G-force
exerted on the vehicle when turning right is
displayed on the left side of the screen. The g-
force timeline will begin to scroll down auto-
matically after a short period of time.
&2Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the level
of g-force exerted on the vehicle while decelerat-
ing exceeds a preset level.
&3G-meter:
Displays the g-force currently being exerted on
the vehicle due to deceleration.
&4SPEED:
Displays the current driving speed.
&5STEERING:
Displays the angle of the steering wheel.
INFO:
. The extent to which the steering of the
vehicle is displayed on the meter may vary
depending on the vehicle speed.
. Due to the slope of a road, this meter may
register g-force even when the vehicle is
stopped. This is not a malfunction

Using result screens to improve
driving
This section explains how to use the driving
timeline screens. Use this information to make
your driving smoother.
INFO:
The criteria for smooth driving may vary depend-
ing on road conditions. Use this information for
reference purposes only.
Timeline and driving that show smooth
handling when driving through S-curve:
&1Turn the steering wheel slowly and the angle of
the graph slopes gently.
&2Turning the wheel slowly through the turn will
result in a smooth, curving line.
&3By turning the steering wheel slowly back to its
previous position, the line on the graph timeline
returns to its standard position and the vehicle
stabilizes.
Timeline and driving that show sudden
turning of steering wheel:
&1Because the wheel is turned quickly, the buildup
of the line is very sudden.
&2When the wheel is turned back quickly, the
resulting line appears as a point.
&3When the steering wheel is being turned in an
erratic manner, the vehicle is veering abruptly.
Because of this, the line on the panel fluctuates
without settling.
GEAR POSITION SCREEN
The GEAR POSITION screen displays the gear
you are currently in, the current speed, and the
fuel economy level for each gear. This allows you
to verify the best gear to use at your current
driving speed. Use this panel to improve your
operation of the shift lever or paddle shifters.
How to view screen
&1GEAR EFFICIENCY (displays the fuel economy
level):
Displays the current fuel economy level of each
gear. The lighter the blue color displayed, the
better the fuel economy will be. The lighter the
red color displayed, the higher the torque will be.
&2Speedometer (vertical):
Displays the current speed. This scale changes
with the speed of the vehicle.

&3Selected gear (horizontal):
Displays the currently selected gear.
&4SPEED:
Displays the current speed.
&5GEAR (gear position):
Displays gear shifting mode and gear position.
.Gear shifting mode: A range/ M range
. Gear position: N/P/R/1-6
INFO:
When using the M range mode, if you are unable
to change to the gear that you want, the position
indicator light will turn off.
Using result screens to improve
driving
This section explains changing gears to suit
driving conditions.
INFO:
The displayed fuel economy level for each gear
is only an estimation and may differ from the
actual fuel economy. Selecting gear for fuel economy:
&1With the most appropriate gear for fuel economy
selected, for the current speed of the vehicle, the
vehicle is being driven in an efficient gear.
Changing gears for engine braking or
power:
&1The best gear for driving power is selected, but in
this example, it is also the least fuel efficient gear.
FUEL ECONOMY SCREEN
The FUEL ECONOMY screen allows you to
verify the fuel efficiency of your driving. Use this
information to make your driving more fuel
efficient.
How to view screen
&1FUEL EFFICIENCY (timeline of fuel economy):
Displays the fuel economy timeline of the past 20
minutes. The vertical readout displays the fuel
economy (on a scale of 10) and the horizontal
readout displays the timeline of the last 20
minutes.
&2RECENT FUEL ECON. (fuel economy over a
given section):
Displays the fuel economy for the past 20
seconds while the vehicle is being driven.
Multi function meter10-23

&3FUEL EFFICIENCY (fuel economy level (real
time)):
Displays the current fuel economy level (mea-
sured on a scale of 10) . The higher this value is,
the better the fuel economy level.
INFO:
Driving at a constant speed (no acceleration or
deceleration) will result in improved fuel econ-
omy.
Using result screens to improve
driving
This section explains how to use the timeline
information confirmed from the result screens.
Use this information to make your driving more
fuel efficient.
INFO:
The eco driving level readings are estimations.
The actual fuel economy may differ. Timeline and driving of good fuel econo-
my:
&1The average fuel economy level is high, indicating
fuel-efficient driving.
&2The current fuel economy level is shown to be
very high.
Timeline and driving of poor fuel economy:
&1The average fuel economy level is low, indicating
poor fuel efficiency.
&2The current fuel economy level is low.

This allows you to measure/display the timeline
and waypoint history over a given time.
