<p>In an automobile gearshift indication apparatus configured to perform gearshift indication delay control to eliminate bothering of a driver caused by frequently producing a gearshift indication, the driver is not bothered when an engine load is low, and when the engine load is high, the number of engine revolutions is prevented from becoming higher than necessary. When a gearshift indication condition has been established based on a gearshift map, an accelerator opening degree at that point in time is detected, and a count value of a gearshift indication permission timer, which starts a count after the gearshift indication has been established and time counted by a lamp off timer has elapsed, is set smaller for a larger accelerator opening degree. Thus, in a state in which the accelerator opening degree is large, it is possible to avoid maintaining a low gear more than is necessary, and an excessive rise in the number of engine revolutions is prevented.
