2017 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, causing unstable
acceleration. As a result, unstable wavy line
is displayed.
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 reference
to make your driving more comforta-
ble. 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 regula-
tions 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 braking screen
*1BRAKING G (timeline graph):
Displays the deceleration of the g-force
being exerted on the vehicle. The vertical
readout illustrates the progress of decelera-
tion and the horizontal readout tracks the
deceleration timeline of the past 20 sec-
onds.
*2Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the
level of g-force exerted on the vehicle while
decelerating 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 malfunc-
tion.
. This panel only displays acceleration infor-
mation when the vehicle is decelerating. It
does not display any acceleration information
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 down-
wards.
*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 de-
pressed 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 de-
pressed and released, the resulting line
appears wavy.
8-18

*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 displaying
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.
WARNING

function meter strictly as a reference
to make your driving more comforta-
ble. 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 regula-
tions and posted speed limits.

tended to prevent accidents caused by reckless driving.
How to view steering 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 automatically 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
decelerating 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
. When the VDC or the ABS is activated, a
mark will appear on the far left side of the
panel (large panel only) .

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 steering 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.
DRIVING RECORD SCREEN
This allows you to measure/display the timeline
and waypoint history over a given time.
STOPWATCH SCREEN
