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.

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”. (

warning” page 2-43)
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle. (
“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.

TRANSMISSION POSITION INDICA-
TORThe transmission position indicator indi-
cates the gear positions.
The indicator blinks if it is not possible to
shift the gear when in the
position.
1. Upshift indicator (green)
2. Upshift indicator (yellow)
3. Upshift indicator (red)UPSHIFT INDICATORWhen the upshift indicator is set to on, the
indicators on the tachometer will illumi-
nate 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
position. This
function consists of two modes that can
be selected on the vehicle information
display: AUTO setting and MANUAL
setting.
