TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in
revo\butions per minute (rpm) \f Do not rev the
engine into the red zone
*1\f
NOTICE
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
engine speed. Operating the engine in
the red zone may cause serious engine
damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coo\bant tem-
perature\f
The engine coo\bant temperature is within the
norma\b range when the gauge need\be points
within the zone

NOTICE
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the en-
gine. (

registers “E” (Empty) .
The low fuel wa�bning will be indicated on the
vehicle info�bmation display when the fuel tank is
getting low�f Refuel as soon as it is convenient,

NOTE:
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may

a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off. If the light remains on after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

UPSHIFT INDICATOR
When the upshi\ft indicator is set to on, the
indicators on the tachometer will illuminate to
help upshi\ft at a constant engine speed \from any
gear or to warn the driver o\f over-revving.
The upshi\ft indicator operates only when the
shi\ft lever is in the
&Mposition. This \function
consists o\f two modes that can be selected on
the vehicle in\formation display: AUTO setting

st�bt�fs of the �fpshift indic�btor will be shown on
the UPSHIFT screen. Note th�bt the f�fnction is

Example
When the maximum engine speed is
desired:
Set the �fpshift indic�btor to AUTO. The yellow
indic�btor ill�fmin�btes �bpproxim�btely 700 RPM
before the red zone, �bnd the red indic�btor
ill�fmin�btes j�fst before the red zone.
When the maximum engine torque is
desired:
Set the fig�fre �bt 6,000 RPM. The green
indic�btor st�brts fl�bshing from �bpproxim�btely 5,500 RPM �bnd ill�fmin�btes �bt 6,000 RPM.
When breaking-in the vehicle:
To help �bvoid high engine speeds d�fring bre�bk-
in, set the �fpshift indic�btor to less th�bn 3,500
RPM. The green indic�btor st�brts fl�bshing �bp-
proxim�btely 500 RPM before the set fig�fre �bnd
ill�fmin�btes from the set fig�fre. (

NOTE:
The engine oil level can be displayed after
the “OIL LEVEL OK” display turns off or
while the engine is started and running.

When the oil level is low
If the message shown above is displayed�f the
engine oil level is low.
Warm �bp the engine in a level location. After at
least 5 min�btes have passed since engine stop�f
�bse the engine oil dipstick to check the oil level.
(
“Engine oil” page 8-13)
If the oil level is low�f have additional engine oil
added�f or the oil changed�f at a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is in a location that is not
level, accurate measurement of the oil
level may not be possible. If “OIL LEVEL
LOW ” is displayed, but the level shown
by the oil dipstick is normal, move the
vehicle to a level location and stop the
engine. After at least 5 minutes have
passed, open the driver’s door and push
the ignition switch back to ON. If the
“OIL LEVEL LOW” message appears

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CHECK
DISPLAY
This is \fisplaye\f after the engine is starte\f while
the transmission system is being checke\f. It
turns off after a few secon\fs.
NOTE:
.During the system check, the shift lever
cannot be moved out of the
&Pposition.
Operate the shift lever after the system
check indicator turns off.
. The shift lever cannot be moved if the
shift lever button is pushed while the
system check is being performed, even after the system check is finished.
Release the button and push it again
to operate the shift lever.
. During winter or at other times when
the temperature is extremely low,
changes in the hydraulic response
characteristics may increase the
amount of time that is required for the
system check. During the system check,
a thudding operating noise may occur
or the engine speed may decrease,
however this does not indicate that
there is a malfunction.
