When the maximum engine torque is
desired:
Set the figure at 6,000 RPM. The green
indicator starts flashing from approxi- mately 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 approximately 500 RPM
before the set figure and illuminates from
the set figure. (

check, a thudding operating noise
may occur or the engine speed may
decrease, however this does not
indicate that there is a malfunction.

NOTE:
When the battery is disconnected, the
memory for trips
is erased, and
both return to zero.
TACHOMETERThe tachometer indicates the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Do not rev the engine into the red zone
.
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
GAUGEThe gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within
the normal range when the gauge needle
points within the zone
shown in the
illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies
with the outside air temperature and
driving conditions.

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 possi-
ble. If the engine is overheated,
continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine.
(
“If your vehicle overheats” page
6-8)
FUEL GAUGEThe gauge indicates the approximate
fuel 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 “E” (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 “E”. There will be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel
gauge needle reaches “E”. (

“Fuel-filler door” page 3-24)
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, it is recom-
mended you have the vehicle inspected
by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
