The digital display comes to life and shows a huge amount of information in stunning detail. It includes real-time performance metrics like speed, RPM, and engine temperature, as well as navigation directions that are seamlessly merged to make things easy for you to understand. Every carefully thought-out detail gives off a sense of purpose, from the clean lines of the panel to the way the controls are placed to make driving easy and enjoyable.

NOTE:
- Meters and gauges will illuminate when the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position.
- The needle indicators may move slightly after the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position. This does not indicate that there is a malfunction.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle’s speed.
CAUTION
- For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dampened with water. Never use a rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or any kind of solvent or paper towel with a chemical cleaning agent. They will scratch or cause discolouration to the lens.
- Do not spray any liquid such as water on the meter lens. Spraying liquid may cause the system to malfunction.
ODOMETER/TWIN TRIP OD- OMETER
The odometer 1 indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven. The twin trip odometer 2 indicates the distance of individual trips.
Changing the display
Push the TRIP A/B RESET switch to change between A trips and B.
Resetting the trip odometer
To reset a trip, display the trip that you want to reset to zero, then push and hold the TRIP A/B RESET switch for more than 1 second.
NOTE:
When the battery is disconnected, the memory for A trips to B and is 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.
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 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 the 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 engine.
FUEL GAUGE
The 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”.
This
indicates that the fuel-filler door is located on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
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 recommended you have the vehicle inspected by a GT-R-certified NISSAN dealer.
TRANSMISSION POSITION INDICATOR
The transmission position indicator indicates the gear positions.
The indicator blinks if it is not possible to shift the gear when in the
position.
- Upshift indicator (green)
- Upshift indicator (yellow)
- 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 position. This function consists of two modes that can be selected on the vehicle information display: AUTO setting and MANUAL setting.
Setting
Push the ignition switch to the ON position. Use the ENTER switch
and toggle the vehicle information display to show the SETTING screen.
Use the NEXT switch
and ENTER switch
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 ENTER to 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 approxi-mately 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 into 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.
NOTE:
- There may be a slight difference between the timing of the upshift indicator illumination and the tachometer indication.
- When the battery terminal is disconnected, the set memory will be erased and the mode will return to the default.
INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The instrument brightness can be adjusted when the ignition switch is in the ON position. Push the switch to adjust the brightness up or down. 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.
NOTE:
- The instrument brightness can be adjusted separately for daytime and nighttime conditions. The adjusted settings are automatically stored.
- When the battery terminal is disconnected, the set memory will be erased and the setting will return to the default.
