glastoveteran Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Obviously irrelevant well using the fully automatic gearbox, but is there a shift up indicator light when in tiptronic mode? Doesn't look like it from what I can see on photos... Quote
JDM Lover Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Do you mean a warning light when the rpm reaches the gear limit? I don't think it has that - I'm a bit of a sunday driver so never really use the tiptronic feature. The only display i'm aware of is the figure under the rev counter telling you which gear you're in (when in auto mode it will always read 'D' of course). Quote

Well on the UK manuals you can set number of revs at which a red light will begin to flash below the rev counter telling you to change gear - I guess so you can still concentrate on the road and see it flashing in your peripheral vision. No great hardship without it I guess! Quote

JDM Lover Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Yep, my JDM manual transmission Nismo has it as well. Not such a huge loss for the auto-tiptronic. Quote

jim Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Obviously irrelevant well using the fully automatic gearbox, but is there a shift up indicator light when in tiptronic mode? Doesn't look like it from what I can see on photos... Simple answer is no. But honestly, you don't need it. Oh, by the way, the shift is ultra smooth and fast. Quote
