Abstract
A display control apparatus for a meter is provided. The display control apparatus includes a rotation sensor and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to: (i) during a shift of the automatic transmission, calculate an estimated engine rotation speed estimated on the basis of a gear position after the shift; (ii) during the shift of the automatic transmission, control the meter such that the meter displays the estimated engine rotation speed; and (iii) when the engine has changed from a driving state to a driven state during the shift or the engine has changed from the driven state to the driving state during the shift, control the meter such that the rotation speed of the engine, displayed on the meter, is changed from the estimated engine rotation speed to the rotation speed of the engine, detected by the rotation sensor.
