RESET switch for more than 1 second.
NOTE:
When the battery is disconnected, the
memory for trips
&Aand&Bis erased,
and both return to zero.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm) . Do not rev the
engine into the red zone
*1.
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 coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge needle points
within the zone
*1shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
Instruments and controls2-7

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. (
ªIf your vehicle overheatsº
page 6-8)
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates the approximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after the
ignition switch is pushed to the LOCK position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers ªEº (Empty) .
The low fuel warning will be indicated on the
vehicle information display when the fuel tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the gauge reaches ªEº. There
will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches ªEº. (
ªLow
fuel warningº page 2-40)
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
(
ªFuel-filler doorº page 3-23)
NOTE:
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible. After
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.

TRANSMISSION POSITION INDICA-
TOR
The transmission position indicator indicates the
gear positions.
The indicator blinks if it is not possible to shift
the gear when in the
&Mposition.
1. Upshift indicator (green)
2. Upshift indicator (yellow)
3. Upshift indicator (red)
UPSHIFT INDICATOR
When the upshift indicator is set to on, the
indicators on the tachometer will illuminate to
help upshift at a constant engine speed from any
gear or to warn the driver of over-revving.
The upshift indicator operates only when the
shift lever is in the
&Mposition. This function
consists of two modes that can be selected on
the vehicle information display: AUTO setting
and MANUAL setting.

to go to ALERT > UPSHIFT. The current
status of the upshift indicator will be shown on
the UPSHIFT screen. Note that the function is
set to AUTO as the factory default setting.
To change the upshift indicator mode, choose
SETTING on the UPSHIFT screen. Set one of
the following modes by pushing the NEXT
switch
, and then push ENTERto
complete.
. AUTO
. 3,000 to 6,300 RPM (MANUAL)
. OFF
The number will increase by 100 RPM. To
increase the number by 500 RPM, push and
hold the NEXT switch
.
Example
When the maximum engine speed is
desired:
Set the upshift indicator to AUTO. The yellow
indicator illuminates approximately 700 RPM
before the red zone, and the red indicator
illuminates just before the red zone.
When the maximum engine torque is
desired:
Set the figure at 6,000 RPM. The green
indicator starts flashing from approximately 5,500 RPM and illuminates at 6,000 RPM.
When breaking-in the vehicle:
To help avoid high engine speeds during break-
in, set the upshift indicator to less than 3,500
RPM. The green indicator starts flashing ap-
proximately 500 RPM before the set figure and
illuminates from the set figure. (
ªBreak-in
scheduleº page 5-39)
NOTE:
. There may be a slight difference be-
tween the timing of the upshift indica-
tor illumination and the tachometer
indication.
. When the battery terminal is discon-
nected, the set memory will be erased
and the mode returns to the default.
INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS CON-
TROL
The instrument brightness can be adjusted
when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Push the switch to adjust the brightness up
*1
or down*2. The brightness level is shown on
the vehicle information display.
When the headlights are on, the brightness of
the interior switches is also adjusted at the same
time.
