NISSAN GT-R 2023 (01) PDF MANUAL

When engaging in high performance driving, switch the display to the multi-function meter to show the temperature of the engine coolant and oil, and the oil pressure. The color of the multi-function meter changes to red to warn the driver if temperatures or pressures exceed normal range. When the display turns red, perform cool-down driving until values return to normal and the display turns white.

Warning temperatures are:

• Engine coolant: 230°F (110°C) or higher. Engine output is reduced.

• Engine oil: 275°F (135°C) or higher. Maximum engine speed is limited to 4,000 rpm, and transmission automatically shifts from N to P position.

• Transmission oil: 284°F (140°C) or higher. Vehicle can be driven up to 295°F (146°C). If oil temperature exceeds 284°F (140°C) while driving (red display), change both transmission oil and differential oil after driving.

To help extend the life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely high, drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h) in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km), then stop the engine.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank is full at the first automatic shutoff.

The GT-R’s fuel tank design (divided into two parts, located low) causes higher pressures, making spillage possible if topping off. Fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle is hot, especially if more than half full. Open the cap slowly to release pressure gradually. If refueling when hot, the fuel pump may automatically shut off before the tank is full; this is not a malfunction. Refuel slowly or after the vehicle has cooled.

• Check the engine, transmission, differential, and under-vehicle surfaces for oil and coolant leaks.

• Check the fluid levels and adjust as necessary using the specified fluid as described in the manual. If not driving under specified performance conditions, refer to the “9. Maintenance and schedules” section.

Nissan recommends adjusting the engine oil level to be 0.39 inches (10 mm) (1/8 gal (0.5 liters)) below the H mark on the engine oil dipstick. Before checking the oil level, run the engine until it reaches operating temperature and wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the engine. Ensure the oil level always remains above the L mark.

If the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil is set to “H- 0.39 inches (10 mm)” for optimal high performance driving.

Some oil consumption is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. However, if your oil consumption rate increases suddenly or without explanation, Nissan recommends having your vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

Adjust the power steering fluid level to the R mark on the power steering dipstick when the fluid temperature is hot, or to the L mark when the fluid temperature is cold.

Fluid temperature:

• Hot: 122 to 176°F (50 to 80°C): between H and R

• Cold: 32 to 86°F (0 to 30°C): between L and R

Check the coolant level in the pressurized coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that the fluid is between the MAX and MIN markings. Use genuine Nissan Long Life coolant or equivalent. When the new vehicle is delivered, the reservoir is filled to the MIN level. Be sure to replenish approximately 3/8 US quart (0.3 to 0.4 liters) of coolant.

Do not overfill the coolant, as this may increase pressure in the cooling system and cause leaks.

To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant mixture ratio should be 30% coolant antifreeze and 70% demineralized or distilled water for maximum cooling performance, regardless of ambient temperatures. If ambient temperatures are anticipated to drop below 5°F (-15°C), use a 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water mix.

The following inspections apply only when engaging in performance driving:

• Check the engine, transmission, differential, and under the vehicle for oil and coolant leaks.

• Inspect the areas surrounding the catalytic converter for heat deterioration.

• Always perform the transmission setting. Adjust the clutch clearance to be less than what is used for daily driving. Your GT-R certified Nissan dealer has the necessary information and equipment to set the clutch clearance to the correct specification. The clutch clearance used for daily driving increases clutch heat generated during performance driving, leading to an increase in transmission oil temperature. Reducing clutch clearance provides a more direct shifting feel. The clutch clearance should be reset to daily driving specification after performance driving.

• Inspect and confirm the clearance between the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is more than 0.24 inches (6 mm) (up/down) and more than 0.20 inches (5 mm) (left/right).

• Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft universal joint for cracks or damage.

Failure to have the clutch properly adjusted before performance driving may cause the transmission oil temperature to increase, which may cause transmission damage.

The following apply only when engaging in performance driving:

• Check the steering and suspension system and other links for loose and/or damaged parts.

• Measure and adjust the wheel alignment. It is recommended to contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer to adjust the wheel alignment to the recommended setting for high performance driving.

Toe-out can cause uneven tire wear or damage to areas inside the tires due to high heat. Ensure the wheel alignment toe-in setting is checked and adjusted. It is recommended to contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer before any performance driving on closed circuit tracks. Always obey all traffic laws when on public roads.

Toe-in specification:

The following apply only when engaging in performance driving:

• Check tire wear and cracking.

• Inspect the tire sidewall for damage.

• Check the tire pressure and adjust as necessary when the tires are cold.

Keep your tires inflated to the correct tire pressure. Driving with low tire pressure can damage some powertrain systems and affect the operation of the ABS and VDC systems. Low tire pressure may also cause tire failure and result in serious personal injury or death.

• Ensure the tire valve stem cap is installed and tight. When installing, tighten by hand. Using a tool may damage the cap.

• Ensure the wheel nuts are tight.

• Ensure the drive shaft nuts are tight.

• Replace the grommet seal, valve core, and valve cap of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor every 3 years for performance driving, or every 5 years even when not engaging in performance driving. A dirty grommet seal will cause air leak from the tire.

• Ensure nuts and valves attached to the TPMS sensor are tight and there is no nitrogen leak.

• Use only a Nissan genuine valve cap or equivalent.

• Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel rotates smoothly without friction. Check this with tires removed during inspection.

• Secure road wheel balance weights with aluminum tape.

• Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.

• Ensure the tire has not slipped on the wheel causing imbalance. Reference marks on the tire and wheel should be aligned. If not aligned, rebalance wheels/tires. Erase old marks and apply new ones. When installing new tires, apply new reference marks.

• Avoid driving conditions listed under “Additional maintenance items” for 48 hours after tires are installed on wheels to prevent tire slip and subsequent imbalance.

The following applies only when engaging in performance driving:

• Check for the heat deterioration of the brakes and parts around the brakes.

• It is recommended to remove air from the brake system after:

  • Engaging in high performance driving for the first time after purchasing a new vehicle.

  • Replacing the brake fluid.

  • Engaging in high performance driving for a sustained period. Bleeding the brake is recommended when brake calipers are hot (about 212°F (100°C)).

Nissan recommends a special brake pad break-in procedure before engaging in performance driving. Contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer for details.

The following information and specifications apply only when engaging in performance driving. At the completion of performance driving, all fluid and other adjustments should be returned to the normal fluid specifications as shown in the “8. Do-it-yourself” section of this manual.

For Fluids:

• Check the engine, transmission, differential, and under the vehicle for oil and coolant leaks.

• Check the fluid levels and adjust as necessary using the specified fluid as described in the manual. If you do not drive under the conditions listed, refer to the “9. Maintenance and schedules” section of this manual.

• When changing fluids, be sure to use the specified fluids as described in this Owner’s manual.

The following fluids and maintenance intervals are recommended when engaging in performance driving:

Engine Oil: Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic oil) or equivalent

Transmission Oil: Genuine Nissan Transmission Oil R35 Special (100% synthetic oil) or equivalent

Differential Oil (front and rear): Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type 2189E or equivalent

Brake Fluid: Genuine Nissan Brake Fluid R35 Special II or equivalent

Suspension and wheel alignment:

• Check the steering and suspension system and other links for loose and/or damaged parts.

• Measure and adjust the wheel alignment. It is recommended to contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer to adjust the wheel alignment to the recommended setting for normal driving.

Wheels and tires:

• Check tire wear and cracking.

• Inspect the tire sidewall for damage.

• Check the tire pressure and adjust as necessary when the tires are cold. If you do not drive under the conditions listed, refer to the “Wheels and tires” section in Chapter 8.

• Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped. Check if there is no deformation on the contact surface of the wheel nuts.

• Ensure the wheel nuts are tight.

• Ensure the drive shaft nuts are tight.

• Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel rotates smoothly without any friction. Check these with the tires removed whenever an inspection is performed with the vehicle jacked up.

• Ensure the tire has not slipped on the wheel causing the assembly to be out of balance. The reference marks on the tire and wheel should be aligned. If the reference marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on the wheel. Have the wheels/tires rebalanced. Ensure old reference marks are erased and new reference marks are applied to the wheel and tire. When installing new tires, apply new reference marks.

• Ensure that the TPMS sensor installation nuts and the sensor valve are tight and there is no nitrogen leak.

Brakes:

• Check for the heat deterioration of the brakes and parts around the brakes.

• Check the condition of the brake pads and disc rotors and replace them as necessary.

• Apply MOLYKOTE® 7439 or equivalent to the top and bottom of the front brake pads.

• Check the engine, transmission, differential, and under the vehicle for oil and coolant leaks.

• Inspect the area surrounding the catalytic converter for heat deterioration.

• Inspect and confirm the clearance between the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is more than 0.24 inches (6 mm) (up/down) and more than 0.20 inches (5 mm) (left/right).

• The clutch clearance and shift fork position may need to be adjusted.

• Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft universal joint for cracks or damage.

• Check that there is no abnormal noise, vibrations, or warning lights illuminated when making tight turns at slow speed (for tight corner braking phenomenon).

The fuel temperature is higher when the vehicle is hot. This may cause a gasoline smell from the vehicle, which does not indicate a malfunction. The smell will dissipate when the fuel temperature has cooled.

Heat from the engine compartment, radiator, and intercoolers can affect the outside temperature display. The display may indicate a higher than actual temperature while driving or stopped. This is normal.

The idle speed may not be steady when the engine compartment is extremely hot. This is normal. The engine speed will be steady when the engine cools down. In this case, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may come on. After a few driving trips, the MIL 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.

To help protect the engine, the maximum engine speed is automatically controlled under the following conditions:

• When revving the engine with the shift lever in the P or N position: The maximum engine speed is 4,300 RPM.

• When revving the engine when the engine oil is at a low (below 32°F (0°C)) or extremely high (over 275°F (135°C)) temperature: The maximum engine speed is 4,000 RPM (The N position will automatically change to the P position).

To protect the engine, engine output is controlled so that it does not increase at altitudes of approximately 3,281 feet (1,000 m) or higher.

The engine output is controlled at a low level when the engine coolant temperature is lower than approximately 158°F (70°C) or higher than 230°F (110°C). This is not a malfunction. If the temperature is lower than approximately 158°F (70°C), drive the vehicle until it reaches normal operating temperature. If the temperature is higher than 230°F (110°C), perform cool-down driving procedures. When the temperature of the engine coolant is between 158°F (70°C) and 230°F (110°C), the engine output returns to normal.

The GT-R is equipped with high performance, low profile, run-flat tires optimized for performance and handling. The life of these tires will be shorter than typical vehicle tires, and uneven tire wear and tire noise are likely to occur regardless of the tire type used.

• The GT-R brake pads use material that provides high braking power even at high temperatures, which can cause an intermittent screeching noise just before the vehicle stops when brakes are gently applied. This noise decreases as the brake pads wear. Replacing the cross spring may also decrease the noise.

• A screeching noise may be heard when the brake pedal is depressed: when driving the vehicle for the first time in the morning, after leaving the vehicle parked for extended periods, or when the vehicle is damp following rain showers or washing. These sounds are normal and caused by brake pads absorbing moisture; the noise stops after the brake is applied several times.

• A screeching noise may also be heard when the brake pedal is depressed: when repeatedly applying gentle braking, especially on a curve at low speed, or when the brake rotors have circular scores with high brake temperature.

• When the brake disc rotor undergoes thermal expansion, a ticking noise may be heard from the engaging portion of the wheel and the brake disc rotor. This is not a malfunction; the noise will reduce when the temperature decreases.

• Due to the rigidity of GT-R tires and the specially formulated rubber, more road noise may be heard than with typical passenger car tires. This is normal.

• Due to the performance capabilities and requirements, the sequential 6-speed dual clutch transmission may produce mechanical sounds, particularly at slow speeds and idle. This is normal.

The friction material of the GT-R disc brake pad is bonded more strongly to the pad backing plate than conventional brake pads to withstand high brake temperatures. The friction material and backing plate expand at different rates, which may cause some cracks on the surface of the friction material. These cracks do not indicate that the brake pads need to be replaced. However, depending on the condition of the cracks, the pads may need to be replaced. Contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer for replacement.

When the brake is repeatedly applied at high loads during the cold season, small cracks of approximately 0.12 inches (3 mm) long may appear around the cross-drilled holes. This is due to temperature differential. This does not indicate a malfunction or problem in brake performance. However, if cracks extend to 0.16 inches (4 mm) or longer after repeated high-load braking or continuous use, the disc rotors must be replaced.

This vehicle has high-performance brakes, and its brake pad material characteristics may cause more brake dust than other vehicles. Nissan recommends a wheel coating to help prevent brake dust from sticking to the wheels.

Rattles from brake pads and creaks during braking: The high-performance brake system of vehicles equipped with NCCB (Nissan Carbon Ceramic Brake) has more clearance between its brake pad and brake caliper than regular vehicles and uses a large brake pad to ensure stable braking performance across a wide range of driving conditions (extremely high or low temperatures, snow-covered roads). Accordingly, you may hear light rattles from the brake pad area when driving over a step, which is not a malfunction. Additionally, you will hear creaks due to the characteristics of the disc rotor material, which reduce with time and wear.

Never park your vehicle for a long time with the brake system wet: The materials used for the brake disc rotor and brake pads for NCCB are different from those for the standard brake system in GT-R. The rotor and pads will be protected from adhesion caused by rusting. However, never park your vehicle for a long time with the brake system wet. This helps maintain the brake disc rotor and brake pads for a long time and prevents adverse effects on the material composition of the carbon ceramic rotor and deterioration in the joint of the brake disc rotor’s full floating structure. Especially during winter, be sure to park your vehicle with the brake disc rotor and pads dry to prevent them from being frozen and damaged in below-freezing temperatures. The carbon ceramic brake for GT-R includes air bubbles in the rotor and pads. Leaving them in wet conditions tends to cause adhesion due to freezing.

Screeching noise:

• A screeching noise may be heard when the brake pedal is depressed: When driving the vehicle for the first time in the morning, after leaving the vehicle parked for extended periods, or when the vehicle is damp following rain showers or washing. These sounds are normal and caused by the brake pads absorbing moisture; the noise stops after the brake is applied several times.

• A screeching noise may also be heard when the brake pedal is depressed: When repeatedly applying gentle braking, especially on a curve at a low speed, or when the brake rotors have circular scores with high brake temperature.

• The NCCB (Nissan Carbon Ceramic Brake) causes more screeching noise in cold weather conditions than in normal weather conditions.

Genuine titanium mufflers are made of titanium alloy. The surface color will change depending on the driving conditions, which is not unusual. Prior to shipping from the factory, all vehicles receive balance aligning for engine, transmission, and clutch, as well as quench driving of brake pads and rotors. As a result, the muffler surface color may differ depending on the vehicle.

The titanium muffler finisher color tone is hand-made, so it may differ depending on the finisher.

When stopping the engine (rapid cooling), you may hear a metal-rubbing sound or unusual ticking sound because of the differential thermal expansion between the inner and outer pipes of the muffler. This is not a malfunction. The sound will decrease when the temperature lowers.

The titanium muffler for vehicles with the exhaust sound control system is equipped with a control valve installed on the left-side exhaust pipe. When the exhaust sound control switch is ON or the engine speed is low, exhaust sound silencing is enhanced by closing the valve. Exhaust gas is not emitted from the left-side exhaust pipe when the control valve is closed. This is not a malfunction.

The surfaces of the dry carbon fiber parts are lightly coated like a race car so that you can feel the proper texture of real carbon, which may feel rough. This is normal.

The GT-R dual clutch transmission has two driving modes:

• A position (Automatic gearshift): allows automatic shifting of the manual transmission.

• M position (Manual gearshift): allows quick shifting of the manual transmission.

When starting or driving on a steep uphill grade, shift to the A position and operate the paddle shifter to shift down to 1st gear similar to a manual transmission vehicle.

The GT-R dual clutch transmission was developed specifically to maximize vehicle performance and driving enjoyment. Its components are designed using different engineering standards than typical passenger car transmissions. Because of this, mechanical sounds and various rattle noises may be heard during some driving conditions due to:

• Gear clearances

• Ultralight flywheel

• Dry sump lubrication

These noises do not indicate a malfunction.

• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This is dangerous as the shoulder belt will not be against your body, increasing the risk of serious injury or sliding under the lap belt and sustaining internal injuries in an accident.

• For most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly.

• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to ensure it is securely locked.

• Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls and become involved in serious accidents.

• To avoid injury or death from unintended operation, do not leave children, people requiring assistance, or pets unattended in your vehicle. The temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high, posing a significant risk of injury or death.

• The seatback should not be reclined more than necessary for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits with their back straight and contacting the seat. Reclining the seatback increases the risk of sliding under the lap belt and injury.

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries or damage.

• The power seat motor has an auto-reset overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate the switch.

• Do not operate the power seat switch for a long period of time when the engine is off. This will discharge the battery.

Ensure the front seatback does not contact the rear seat when reclining the seat. If the front seat is reclined to the rearmost position, it may contact the rear seat, potentially causing an indentation in the seatback.

Move the switch forward or backward until the desired seat position is obtained.

Turn the switch forward and backward until the desired seatback angle is obtained. The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. The seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the P position with the parking brake fully applied.

Push the switch up or down to raise or lower the front portion of the seat.

Move the switch up or down to raise or lower the rear portion of the seat.

This feature makes it easier to get in and out of the rear seat. Use the following procedure:

1. Pull up the lever, hold the knob, and tilt the seatback forward.

2. Use the seat adjustment switch to slide the seat forward to a position where it will be easier to enter or exit the rear seats. Fold the shoulder belt guide for easier access to the rear seat.

To return the seatback to its original position, hold the knob, raise the seatback, and use the seat adjustment switch to adjust the seat position.

When returning the seat to its original position, confirm that the seat and seatback are locked properly.

Be careful not to pinch your hand or foot or bump your head when operating the walk-in seat.

Do not place any objects near the seatback of the front seats. They may be pinched and damaged.

Head restraints/headrests supplement other vehicle safety systems and may provide additional protection against injury in rear end collisions. They must be adjusted properly as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce their effectiveness and increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted, and are sitting upright and well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced. Nissan strongly encourages you and all passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories specify that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven.

• Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint.

• The seat belt should be properly adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the entire restraint system and increase the chance or severity of injury in an accident. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.

• Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.

• Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could increase the risk of internal injuries in an accident.

• Ensure the seat belt tongue is securely fastened to the proper buckle.

• Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted. Doing so may reduce its effectiveness.

• Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.

• Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.

• If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is turned ON with all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system. It is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

• No changes should be made to the seat belt system. Do not modify the seat belt, add material, or install devices that may change the seat belt routing or tension. Doing so may affect the operation of the seat belt system and may result in serious personal injury.

• Once a seat belt pretensioner has activated, it cannot be reused and must be replaced together with the retractor. It is recommended you see a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

• Removal and installation of the pretensioner system components should be done by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

• All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any collision by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. Nissan recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

• All child restraints and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision. Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s inspection instructions and replacement recommendations. The child restraints should be replaced if they are damaged.

Nissan recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and always position the lap belt as low as possible around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

Nissan recommends that injured persons use seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific recommendations.

• Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.

• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

• For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt properly.

• Do not allow children to play with the seat belts. Most seating positions are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR mode activated, the child can be seriously injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and becomes tight. This can occur even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release the child. If the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release the child by cutting the seat belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.

1. Adjust the seat.

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage.

The retractor is designed to lock during a sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling motion permits the belt to move, and allows some freedom of movement in the seat. If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.

3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Ensure the shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder and across your chest.

The three-point type seat belts for the front passenger and rear seats have two modes of operation: Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).

The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend and retract to allow the driver and passengers some freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly or during impacts.

The ALR mode or child restraint mode locks the seat belt for child restraint installation. When ALR mode is activated, the seat belt cannot be extended until the seat belt tongue is detached from the buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode after being fully retracted.

The ALR mode should be used only for child restraint installation. During normal seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode should not be activated, as it may cause uncomfortable seat belt tension and can change the operation of the front passenger air bag.

To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.

Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt movement by two separate methods: when the belt is pulled quickly from the retractor, and when the vehicle slows down rapidly. To increase your confidence, check the operation by grasping the shoulder belt and pulling quickly forward. The retractor should lock and restrict further belt movement. If it does not lock or if you have questions, see a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

When fastening the seat belts, ensure seatbacks are completely secured in the latched position. If not, passengers could be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

Before fastening the seat belt, adjust the shoulder belt arm to the lock position where the belt fits snugly on the shoulder. The arm can also be folded down to allow rear seat passengers easier access. Pulling the arm forward will allow easy access to the belt.

• It is recommended that only Nissan seat belt extenders, made by the same company which made the original equipment seat belts, be used with the Nissan seat belts.

• Adults and children who can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Such unnecessary use could result in serious personal injury in an accident.

• Never use seat belt extenders to install child restraints. If the child restraint is not secured properly, the child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision or a sudden stop.

• To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild soap solution or any solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then, wipe with a cloth and allow the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they are completely dry.

• If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

• Periodically check to see that the seat belt and metal components such as buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires, and anchors work properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts, or other damage on the webbing is found, the entire seat belt assembly should be replaced.

Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the retractor. Never use bleach, dye, or chemical solvents to clean the seat belts, since these materials may severely weaken the seat belt webbing.

Do not allow children to play with the seat belts. Most seating positions are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR mode activated, the child can be seriously injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and becomes tight. This can occur even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release the child. If the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release the child by cutting the seat belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them and should be properly restrained. There are three basic types: rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster seats. The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

Infants and children need special protection. Vehicle seat belts may not fit them properly, potentially causing serious or fatal injury in an accident if not restrained appropriately. Always use appropriate child restraints.

Nissan recommends that all pre-teens and children be restrained in the rear seat, as accident statistics show children are safer there than in the front seat. This is especially important due to the supplemental restraint system (air bag system) for the front passenger.

Infants up to at least one year old should be placed in a rear-facing child restraint. Nissan recommends infants be placed in child restraints that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Choose a child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

Children over 1 year old and weighing at least 20 lb (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing child restraint as long as possible, up to the height or weight limit of the child restraint. Children who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old should be secured in a forward-facing child restraint with a harness. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for minimum and maximum weight and height recommendations. Nissan recommends small children be placed in child restraints that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Choose a child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

Children should remain in a forward-facing child restraint with a harness until they reach its maximum height or weight limit. Once a child outgrows the harness-equipped forward-facing child restraint, Nissan recommends placing the child in a commercially available booster seat for proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit properly, the booster seat should raise the child so the shoulder belt is positioned across the chest and the top, middle portion of the shoulder, not crossing the neck or face and not falling off the shoulder. The lap belt should lie snugly across the lower hips or upper thighs, not the abdomen.

A booster seat can only be used in seating positions with a three-point type seat belt. The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and be labeled as complying with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. A booster seat should be used until the child can pass the seat belt fit test below:

• Are the child’s back and hips against the vehicle seatback?

• Is the child able to sit without slouching?

• Do the child’s knees bend easily over the front edge of the seat with feet flat on the floor?

• Can the child safely wear the seat belt (lap belt low and snug across the hips and shoulder belt across mid-chest and shoulder)?

• Is the child able to use the properly adjusted head restraint/headrest?

• Will the child be able to stay in position for the entire ride?

If you answered no to any of these questions, the child should remain in a booster seat using a three-point type seat belt.

• Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the vehicle is moving. The child could be seriously injured or killed in an accident or sudden stop.

• Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision:

  • The child restraint must be used and installed properly. Always follow all of the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

  • Infants and children should never be held on anyone’s lap. Even the strongest adult cannot resist the forces of a collision.

  • Do not put a seat belt around both a child and another passenger.

  • Nissan recommends that all child restraints be installed in the rear seat. Studies show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If you must install a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, it should be placed in a forward-facing direction only.

  • Even with the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat. An inflating air bag could seriously injure or kill a child. A rear-facing child restraint must only be used in the rear seat.

  • Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child and vehicle. Some child restraints may not fit properly in your vehicle.

  • Child restraint anchor points are designed to withstand loads from child restraints that are properly fitted.

  • Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or harnesses.

  • A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat.

  • Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child restraint.

  • Infants and children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint while in the vehicle.

• When the child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with the LATCH system or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or collision, loose objects can injure occupants or damage the vehicle.

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing a child in the child restraint.

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor points for LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system compatible child restraints. This system may also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible system. With this system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint unless the combined weight of the child and child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the child restraint. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require that infants and small children be restrained in an approved child restraint at all times while the vehicle is being operated. Canadian law requires the top tether strap on forward-facing child restraints be secured to the designated anchor point on the vehicle.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision:

• Attach LATCH system compatible child restraints only at the locations shown in the illustration.

• Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fingers into the lower anchor area. Feel to make sure there are no obstructions over the anchors such as seat belt webbing or seat cushion material. The child restraint will not be secured properly if the lower anchors are obstructed.

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult seat belts, or other items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage the child restraint anchorages. The child restraint will not be properly installed using the damaged anchorage, and a child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision.

The GT-R has seats and seat belts for four occupants, two in the front seats and two in the rear seats. Never use the rear console as a seating position or for a child restraint.

Do not use the lower anchors if the combined weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight is greater, use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Secure the child restraint anchor attachments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check to make sure the LATCH attachment is properly attached to the lower anchors.

3. For child restraints with webbing-mounted attachments, remove any additional slack from the anchor attachments. Press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint with your hand to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while tightening the webbing of the anchor attachments.

4. After attaching the child restraint, test it before placing the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the LATCH attachment path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) side-to-side. Tug it forward to check if the LATCH attachment holds the restraint in place. If not secure, tighten the LATCH attachment or try another seat or vehicle seat belt installation (if applicable). Not all child restraints fit all vehicles.

5. Check that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If loose, repeat steps 1 through 4.

The three-point seat belt with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used. Failure to use ALR mode will result in the child restraint not being properly secured, potentially causing it to tip over or loosen, and injuring a child in a sudden stop or collision. It can also change the operation of the front passenger air bag.

Do not use the lower anchors if the combined weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight is greater, use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belts in the rear seats:

1. Child restraints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direction and therefore must not be used in the front seat. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert it into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.

3. Pull the shoulder belt until it is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode). It reverts to the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully retracted.

4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.

5. Remove any additional slack from the seat belt; press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt.

6. After attaching the child restraint, test it before placing the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the seat belt path. The child restraint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) side-to-side. Tug it forward and check if the belt holds the restraint in place. If not secure, tighten the seat belt or try another seat. Not all child restraints fit all vehicles.

7. Check that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 1 through 6.

Do not use the lower anchors if the combined weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight is greater, use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Secure the child restraint anchor attachments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check to make sure the LATCH attachment is properly attached to the lower anchors. If the child restraint is equipped with a top tether strap, route it and secure it to the tether anchor point. Do not install child restraints that require a top tether strap in seating positions without a top tether anchor.

3. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seatback. If the seating position interferes with proper child restraint fit, try another seating position or a different child restraint.

4. For child restraints with webbing-mounted attachments, remove any additional slack from the anchor attachments. Press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint with your knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while tightening the webbing of the anchor attachments.

5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any slack.

6. After attaching the child restraint, test it before placing the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the LATCH attachment path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) side-to-side. Tug it forward to check if the LATCH attachment holds the restraint in place. If not secure, tighten the LATCH attachment or try another seat or a different child restraint. Not all child restraints fit all types of vehicles.

7. Check that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If loose, repeat steps 1 through 6.

The child restraint top tether strap must be used when installing the child restraint with the LATCH lower anchor attachments. First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH lower anchors (rear outboard seat positions only).

1. Flip up the anchor cover from the anchor point which is located directly behind the child restraint.

2. Position the top tether strap over the top of the seatback.

3. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the rear parcel shelf.

4. Refer to the appropriate child restraint installation procedure steps earlier in this section before tightening the tether strap.

If you have any questions, consult a GT-R certified Nissan dealer for this service.

The three-point seat belt with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used. Failure to use ALR mode will result in the child restraint not being properly secured, potentially causing it to tip over or loosen, and injuring a child in a sudden stop or collision. It can also change the operation of the front passenger air bag.

Do not use the lower anchors if the combined weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight is greater, use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

Follow these steps to install a forward-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear seats or in the front passenger seat:

1. If you must install a child restraint in the front seat, it should be placed in a forward-facing direction only. Move the seat to the rearmost position. Child restraints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direction and, therefore, must not be used in the front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seatback. If the seating position is interfering with the proper child restraint fit, try another seating position or a different child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert it into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing. If the child restraint is equipped with a top tether strap, route and secure it to the tether anchor point. Do not install child restraints that require the use of a top tether strap in seating positions that do not have a top tether anchor.

4. Pull the shoulder belt until it is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode). It reverts to Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully retracted.

5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.

6. Remove any additional slack from the seat belt; press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt.

7. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any slack.

8. After attaching the child restraint, test it before placing the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the seat belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) side-to-side. Tug it forward and check if the belt holds the restraint in place. If not secure, tighten the seat belt or try another seat. Not all child restraints fit all vehicles.

9. Check that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2 through 8.

10. If the child restraint is installed in the front passenger seat, place the ignition switch in the ON position. The front passenger air bag status light should illuminate. If this light is not illuminated, move the child restraint to another seating position. It is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

After the child restraint is removed and the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

If a booster seat and seat belt are not used properly, the risk of a child being injured in a sudden stop or collision greatly increases:

• Make sure the shoulder portion of the belt is away from the child’s face and neck and the lap portion of the belt does not cross the stomach.

• Make sure the shoulder belt is not behind the child or under the child’s arm.

• A booster seat must only be installed in a seating position that has a lap/shoulder belt.

Booster seats of various sizes are offered by several manufacturers. When selecting any booster seat, keep the following points in mind:

• Choose only a booster seat with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

• Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

• Ensure the child’s head will be properly supported by the booster seat or vehicle seat. The seatback must be at or above the center of the child’s ears. For example, if a low back booster seat is chosen, the vehicle seatback must be at or above the center of the child’s ears. If the seatback is lower than the center of the child’s ears, a high back booster seat should be used.

• If the booster seat is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the booster seat and check the various adjustments to be sure the booster seat is compatible with your child. Always follow all recommended procedures.

To avoid injury to child, do not use the lap/shoulder belt Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode when using a booster seat with the seat belts.

Follow these steps to install a booster seat in the rear seat or in the front passenger seat:

1. If you must install a booster seat in the front seat, move the seat to the rearmost position.

2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a forward-facing direction. Always follow the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions.

3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable. If the seating position is interfering with the proper booster seat fit, try another seating position or a different booster seat.

4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips. Follow the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the belt routing.

5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Ensure the shoulder belt is positioned across the top, middle portion of the child’s shoulder.

6. Follow the warnings, cautions, and instructions for properly fastening a seat belt.

7. If the booster seat is installed in the front passenger seat, push the ignition switch to the ON position. The front passenger air bag status light may or may not illuminate depending on the size of the child and the type of booster seat used.

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes driver and passenger supplemental front-impact air bags (Nissan Advanced Air Bag System), front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bags, and seat belt pretensioners. These systems supplement crash protection provided by seat belts and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts should always be correctly worn, and occupants should be seated a suitable distance from the steering wheel, instrument panel, and door finishers.

The supplemental air bags operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON position. After pushing the ignition switch to the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates and turns off after about 7 seconds if the systems are operational.

• The front air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents.

• The front passenger air bag will not inflate if the passenger air bag status light is lit or if the front passenger seat is unoccupied.

• The seat belts and the front air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat. Front air bags inflate with great force. If unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting sideways, or out of position, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the front air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seatback and as far away as practical from the steering wheel or instrument panel. Always use the seat belts.

• The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag System monitors collision severity and seat belt usage to inflate air bags as needed. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.

• The front passenger seat is equipped with an occupant classification sensor (pattern sensor) that turns the front passenger air bag OFF under some conditions. This sensor is only used in this seat. Failure to be properly seated and wearing the seat belt can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.

• Keep hands on the outside of the steering wheel. Placing them inside the steering wheel rim could increase the risk of hand injury if the supplemental front air bag inflates.

• Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the window. Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations.

• Children may be severely injured or killed when the front air bags, side air bags or curtain air bags inflate if they are not properly restrained. Pre-teens and children should be properly restrained in the rear seat, if possible.

• Even with the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat. An inflating supplemental front air bag could seriously injure or kill your child.

• Do not lean against doors or windows.

• The front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bags:

  • The side air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a front impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower severity side collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents.

  • The curtain air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a front impact, rear impact, or lower severity side collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents.

  • The seat belts, side air bags and curtain air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat. The side air bags and curtain air bags inflate with great force. Do not allow anyone to place their hand, leg or face near the side air bag on the side of the seatback of the front seat or near the side roof rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in the front seat to extend their hand out of the window or lean against the door. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the previous illustrations.

  • When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold onto the seatback of the front seat. If the supplemental side air bag inflates, you may be seriously injured. Be especially careful with children, who should always be properly restrained. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations.

  • Do not use seat covers on the front seatbacks. They may interfere with side air bag inflation.

• Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instrument panel. Also, do not place any objects between any occupant and the steering wheel or instrument panel. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the front air bag inflates.

• Do not place objects with sharp edges on the seat. Also, do not place heavy objects on the seat that will leave permanent impressions in the seat. Such objects can damage the seat or occupant classification sensor (pattern sensor). This can affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.

• Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat or occupant classification sensor. This can also affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.

• Immediately after inflation, several front air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.

• No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the supplemental air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the supplemental air bag or damage to the supplemental air bag system.

• Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle’s electrical system, suspension system or front end structure. This could affect proper operation of the front air bag system.

• Tampering with the supplemental air bag system may result in serious personal injury. Tampering includes changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel assembly by placing material over the steering wheel pad and above the instrument panel or by installing additional trim material around the air bag system.

• Modifying or tampering with the front passenger seat may result in serious personal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material on the seat cushion or by installing additional trim material, such as seat covers, on the seat that is not specifically designed to assure proper air bag operation. Additionally, do not stow any objects under the front passenger seat or the seat cushion and seatback. Such objects may interfere with the proper operation of the occupant classification sensor.

• No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the seat belt system. This may affect the front air bag system. Tampering with the seat belt system may result in serious personal injury.

• Work on and around the front air bag system should be done by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. Installation of electrical equipment should also be done by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. The SRS wiring harnesses should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the air bag system.

• A cracked windshield should be replaced immediately by a qualified repair facility. A cracked windshield could affect the function of the supplemental air bag system.

• If the vehicle becomes involved in a collision but the pretensioner is not activated, it is recommended to have the pretensioner system checked and, if necessary, replaced by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

• No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the pretensioners. This is to prevent damage to or accidental activation of the pretensioners. Tampering with the pretensioner system may result in serious personal injury.

• Work around and on the pretensioners should be done by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. Installation of electrical equipment should also be done by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the pretensioners.

• If you need to dispose of a pretensioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury.

The supplemental air bag warning light displays in the meter and monitors the circuits for the air bag systems, pretensioners, and all related wirings. When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns off, meaning the SRS air bag systems are operational. The air bag and/or pretensioner systems need servicing if any of the following conditions occur:

• The supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 seconds.

• The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.

• The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.

If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag, and/or pretensioners will not operate in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible.

The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags, and pretensioners are designed to activate on a one-time-only basis. Unless damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light remains illuminated after inflation. Repair and replacement of these systems should be done only by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

When maintenance is required, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags, pretensioners, and related parts should be pointed out to the person conducting maintenance. The ignition switch should always be in the LOCK position when working under the hood or inside the vehicle.

• Once a front air bag, side air bag, or curtain air bag has inflated, the air bag module will not function again and must be replaced. Additionally, activated pretensioners must also be replaced. The air bag module and pretensioners cannot be repaired and must be replaced by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

• The front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag, and the pretensioner should be inspected by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer if there is any damage to the front end or side portion of the vehicle.

• If you need to dispose of a supplemental air bag or a pretensioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury.

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. These may scratch or cause discoloration to the lens.

Do not spray any liquid such as water on the meter lens. Spraying liquid may cause the system to malfunction.

The reminder is displayed when the customer-set mileage is exceeded. Select SETTING > MAINTENANCE > OIL > T/M OIL to set or reset the mileage for the transmission oil change. The default setting is 37,000 miles (60,000 km). The maximum mileage that can be set is 55,500 miles (90,000 km).

This reminder appears when the customer-set distance comes for maintaining tires. You can set or reset the distance for maintaining tires.

The tire maintenance indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks. Many factors including tire inflation, alignment, driving habits, and road conditions affect tire wear and when tires should be replaced. Setting the tire maintenance reminder for a certain driving distance does not mean your tires will last that long. Use the tire maintenance reminder as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks, could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

Warning information is displayed on the vehicle information display. Push the ENTER switch while a warning display is active to return to the original display. It is also possible to check any warnings that have not been corrected. Use the NEXT switch to select “DETAIL”, then confirm with the ENTER switch. When there are multiple warnings, push the ENTER switch to change the display among them. To return to the initial warning, push and hold the ENTER switch for more than 1 second. If there are no warnings to display, only “SKIP” can be selected.

With all doors closed, apply the parking brake, fasten the seat belts, and place the ignition switch in the ON position without starting the engine. The following lights (if so equipped) will come on: Brake, Charge, Engine oil pressure, Seat belt, and Supplemental air bag. The following lights (if so equipped) will come on briefly and then go off: AWD, ABS, Intelligent Key, Low tire pressure, Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), Master warning light, Transmission warning light, VDC off indicator light, and VDC warning light. If any light does not come on or operates in a way other than described, it may indicate a burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunction. It is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

This light functions for both the parking brake and the foot brake systems.

Parking brake indicator:

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the light comes on when the parking brake is applied.

Low brake fluid warning light:

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the light comes on while the engine is running with the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform the following:

1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary.

2. If the brake fluid level is correct, it is recommended you have the warning system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning indicator:

When the parking brake is released and the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning properly. It is recommended you have the brake system checked, and if necessary repaired, by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer promptly.

Brake pad wear warning indicator (models with NCCB):

When the brake warning light illuminates, it may indicate that there is brake pad wear. Have the brake system checked and brake pads replaced as soon as possible. It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer for this service.

Never drive for a long period of time when the brake warning light illuminates for brake pad wear. Otherwise, the brake may not function properly due to brake pad wear.

Your brake system may not be working properly if the warning light is on. Driving could be dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service station for repairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dangerous.

Pressing the brake pedal with the engine stopped and/or low brake fluid level may increase your stopping distance and braking will require greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.

If the brake fluid level is below the minimum or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive until the brake system has been checked. It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

If the light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate the charging system is not functioning properly. Turn the engine off and check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing, or if the light remains on, it is recommended you see a GT-R certified Nissan dealer immediately.

Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is loose, broken, or missing.

This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the light flickers or comes on during normal driving, pull off the road in a safe area and stop the engine immediately. It is recommended you call a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

The engine oil pressure warning light is not designed to indicate a low oil level. Check the vehicle information display or use the dipstick to check the oil level.

Running the engine with the engine oil pressure warning light on could cause serious damage to the engine almost immediately. Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so.

The light and chime remind you to fasten seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the ignition switch is placed in the ON position and remains illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the same time, the chime will sound for about 6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is securely fastened.

The seat belt warning light for the front passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is not fastened when the front passenger’s seat is occupied. For approximately 5 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the system does not activate the warning light for the front passenger.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light will illuminate for about 7 seconds and then turn off. This means the system is operational.

If any of the following conditions occur, the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag, and pretensioner systems need servicing, and it is recommended your vehicle be taken to a GT-R certified Nissan dealer:

• The supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 seconds.

• The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.

• The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.

Unless checked and repaired, the supplemental restraint system (air bag system) and/or the pretensioners may not function properly.

If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag, and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle checked. It is recommended you visit a GT-R certified Nissan dealer for this service.

The warning light comes on when the ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns off soon after the engine is started.

If the AWD system malfunctions, the warning light will either remain illuminated or blink.

If the warning light comes on while driving, there may be a malfunction in the AWD system. Reduce vehicle speed and have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is recommended you have the vehicle checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

If the AWD warning light blinks on when you are driving:

• Blinks rapidly (about twice a second): Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine. The driving mode will change to RWD to prevent the AWD system from malfunctioning. If the warning light turns off, you can drive again. This does not indicate that there is a malfunction.

• Blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds): Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine. Check that all tire sizes are the same as that specified on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the driver’s door opening, tire pressure is correct, and tires are not worn. If the tire pressure is insufficient, fill with nitrogen gas. It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer about filling with nitrogen gas. If nitrogen is not available, compressed air may be safely used under normal driving conditions.

If the warning light is still on after the above operations, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is recommended you have the vehicle checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is operational.

If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning properly. It is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function is turned off. The brake system then operates normally, but without anti-lock assistance.

After the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, this light comes on for about 2 seconds and then turns off. This light warns of a malfunction with the electrical steering lock system or the Intelligent Key system. If the light comes on while the engine is stopped, it may be impossible to free the steering lock or to start the engine. If the light comes on while the engine is running, you can drive the vehicle. However, in these cases, it is recommended you contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer for repair as soon as possible.

This light warns of low tire pressure and flat tire, or indicates that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is not functioning properly.

After the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, the warning light illuminates for about 1 second and turns off.

If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the warning light will illuminate and “TIRE LOW PRESSURE VISIT DEALER” warning message will be displayed.

When the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, you should stop and adjust the tire pressure of all 4 wheels to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the driver’s door opening.

The low tire pressure warning light may not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.

You can continue driving with a punctured run-flat tire, but vehicle handling stability is reduced, potentially leading to an accident and personal injury. Driving long distances at high speeds may damage the tires. Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive more than 50 miles (80 km) with a punctured run-flat tire. The actual distance the vehicle can be driven depends on outside temperature, vehicle load, road conditions, and other factors. Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid hard cornering or braking, which may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

If the light does not illuminate with the ignition switch pushed to the ON position, it is recommended you have the vehicle checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer as soon as possible.

If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location, and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving with under-inflated tires may permanently damage them and increase the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and result in serious personal injury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the driver’s door opening to turn the low tire pressure warning light off. If the light still illuminates while driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS may be malfunctioning. If no tire is flat and all tires are properly inflated, it is recommended you have the vehicle checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified Nissan dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting.

Replacing tires with those not originally specified by Nissan could affect the proper operation of the TPMS. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.

The TPMS is not a substitute for regular tire pressure checks. Be sure to check the tire pressure regularly.

Be sure to install the specified size of tires on the four wheels.

The run-flat tire warning warns of a flat tire. This will appear and a chime will sound if the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat tires. The chime will only sound at the first indication of a flat tire and the warning light will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire warning is activated, it is recommended you have the system reset and the tire checked and replaced if necessary by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to the specified COLD tire pressure, the warning light will continue to illuminate until the system is reset by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute when the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. It is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

The light comes on when the cruise control is pushed. The light turns off when the main switch is pushed again. While the cruise control system main switch indicator light is on, the cruise control system is operational.

The light comes on while the vehicle speed is controlled by the cruise control system. If the light blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate the cruise control system is not functioning properly. It is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

This indicator illuminates when the headlight switch is turned to the AUTO, or position and the front parking lights, instrument panel lights, rear combination lights, license plate lights or headlights are on. The indicator turns off when these lights are turned off.

The front passenger air bag status light will be lit and the passenger front air bag will be OFF depending on how the front passenger seat is being used.

This light comes on when the headlight high beam is on and goes out when the low beam is selected.

The light flashes when the turn signal switch lever or hazard switch is turned on.

This will appear if the engine oil pressure is low.

This will appear if a potential emission control or the muffler with electronic control valve (if so equipped) malfunction is detected, the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or the vehicle runs out of fuel.

This will appear if the system cannot detect the shift lever position. Stop the vehicle in a safe location. Depress the brake pedal and move this shift lever to another position then move the lever back to the desired position. If the warning is still displayed after the above operation is performed, it is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

This will appear (and a chime will sound) if the shift lever is in the R position for more than 5 minutes, or when the driver’s door is opened while the shift lever is in the R position.

This will appear if a transmission system malfunction occurs.

This will appear if the transmission oil temperature becomes unusually high.

This will appear if the transmission clutch temperature becomes unusually high.

This will appear if the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7 km/h) with the parking brake applied.

This will appear if the brake fluid level becomes low.

This will appear if the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is not functioning properly.

This will appear if the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system or the hill start assist system is not functioning properly.

This will appear if the temperature of the AWD clutch becomes unusually high. If the vehicle is driven in a way that causes the rear wheels to slip, the AWD clutch temperature will increase and the warning indicator may flash. Continuing to drive in a way that causes the warning light to flash may cause the clutch to reach excessive temperatures that could result in damage to the vehicle.

This will appear if the diameter of the front and the rear wheels are different.

This will appear if the AWD system is not functioning properly while the engine is running.

This will appear if the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure.

This will appear and a chime will sound if the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat tires.

This will appear if the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is not functioning properly.

This will appear if the cruise control system is not functioning properly.

This will appear when the fuel level in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches the empty (E) position. This displays the approximate distance that the vehicle can be driven based on the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.

The low fuel warning will appear when the amount of fuel remaining in the tank decreases to approximately 3 US gallons (12 liters).

The timing of the low fuel warning display may change depending on braking, turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.

If the vehicle is not refueled after the low fuel warning appears, the display will change to “—“. This change timing may become earlier depending on the driving conditions. This does not indicate that there is a malfunction.

This will appear if any of the doors and/or trunk lid are open or not closed securely. The vehicle icon indicates which door or the trunk lid is open.

This will appear if the LED headlight system is not functioning properly. It is recommended you have the system checked by a GT-R certified Nissan dealer.

This will appear when the washer tank fluid is at a low level. Add washer fluid as necessary.

This warning appears under two conditions:
